My interests lie in developing robust geochemical mechanisms for the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of carbon storage across various carbon dioxide removal pathways. Utilizing an array of radiogenic and stable isotopes, I aim to employ isotopic tracers in carbon removal projects to measure carbon storage on a fundamental level. My previous research focused on the geochronology and metamorphic petrology of continental and oceanic crust exposed throughout Southern California. Outside of research, I enjoy thru-hiking, alpine climbing, and guitar playing.
