I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Geography Dept. at UC Berkeley (hosted by John Chiang) and in the Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Dept. at Georgia Tech (hosted by Kim Cobb). Through my research I develop paleoclimate proxy records from the tropical Pacific based on the geochemistry of corals and lake sediments. I combine these records with idealized and comprehensive climate models and dynamical theory to investigate past and future climate change. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Washington, advised by David Battisti and Julian Sachs.

I will be starting at Florida State University as an Assistant Professor in Spring 2019! You can find research opportunities in my lab here.
