I am an undergraduate student majoring in Atmospheric Science and minoring in Chemistry. I’m passionate about atmospheric chemistry and its role in air quality and climate, and my current research focuses on soil nitrogen oxide emissions in the agricultural Midwest. While I’ve loved pursuing research at Berkeley, the best part has truly been learning from and collaborating with others. I’ve also enjoyed engaging with the Earth and Planetary Science community as a mentor and peer advisor.

Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, cooking, reading, and spending time with loved ones. I’m originally from San Diego and San Luis Obispo, so some say I’ve been making my way up the coast!
