I am interested in the intersections between marine conservation and palaeontology.
In 2019, I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with my B.Sc. (Hons) in Environmental Science. There, I worked on an undergraduate thesis assessing the links between foraminifera diversity and climate change.
As a 2021 DAAD RISE fellow, I helped reconstruct sea surface temperature changes from the western South Atlantic at Heidelberg University in Germany. In summer 2022, I assisted in NOAA ice-motion modelling for the Arctic Action Plan

Current Research
I am working with data from both contemporary and ancient coral reefs to determine how these ecosystems have been vulnerable and/or resilient to climate change events.
