I am an experimental geologist and received my PhD in 2020 from the University of Maryland in the Laboratory for Mineral Deposits Research (LMDR) under the supervision of Dr. Philip Piccoli and Dr. Philip Candela. I received my MS in geology from the University of Maryland in 2017 and my BS in geology from Wichita State University in 2015.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford. I am working in the ExPet Group with a focus on Earth Resources, and the metal resources found in geothermal fluids.
