About me

I’m a geoscience doctoral candidate at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and previously obtained degrees in political theory and linguistics. Scientifically speaking, I’m focused on volcanology, cosmochemistry, and planetary surface materials, generally through a mineral physics lens.

Artistically, I’m interested in portraiture and the human-earth interactions that can occur in the periphery of geological surveys, where the average person can experience a much more intimate relationship with our geologically violent earth than even those of us who work with those processes academically can really internalize.
