About Me
I am a Staff Scientist at the Carnegie Science Earth & Planets Laboratory.
I was born and raised in central New Jersey, and growing up I loved reading all the books I could, traveling with my family to dozens of national, state, and provincial parks, and studying every type of science. It was thrilling to me to find out when I started college at Yale that I could combine these passions by studying the geosciences. Not only would I learn to tell stories about our planet, I also would have the privilege to spend dozens of weeks seeing it on fieldwork and field trips around the world. I then pursued a PhD in Geosciences at Princeton University, specializing in high-precision U-Pb zircon geochronology by working with Blair Schoene, and becoming an expert on the geochronology of large igneous provinces, Earth’s most extreme magmatic events. I returned to Yale funded by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship, and I am now a Staff Scientist in Geochemistry at Carnegie Science in Washington, DC. I hope you enjoy exploring my website - please reach out with any questions or ideas for collaboration!
Opportunities
Applications for the Carnegie EPL Postdoctoral Fellowship program are due annually on November 1. Please reach out to me in advance if you might be interested in pursuing postdoctoral research in geochronology here at Carnegie! Our new CA-ID-TIMS lab will be up and running in 2026.
