Proudest Moment: In my senior year, I published a first author paper in culmination of research throughout my time in undergrad.
I came to UW at 15 through the Robinson Center's UW Academy for Young Scholars. In my sophomore year, I was able to explore beyond my major including doing a study abroad in Italy. I have been involved in research for much of my time at college as well as working at the Odegaard Writing and Research Center as both a tutor and peer leader. This year, I was honored to be selected as part of the 2020 Husky 100 and to be able to share my passions for science, education, and equity. In the fall, I will be starting a PhD in Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Riverside where I am excited to continue my academic and personal journeys of discovery and growth that have begun here at UW.
