I am an Assistant Professor in the Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science Dept. at Florida State University. My research focuses on developing paleoclimate reconstructions 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 variability and change. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Washington, advised by David Battisti and Julian Sachs. Subsequently, I was a NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellow working with Kim Cobb (Georgia Tech) and John Chiang (UC Berkeley).
