I'm a fourth-year graduate student working with Dimitri Sverjensky to model geochemical processes and biomolecule formation in Earth’s crust and upper mantle. I have a degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the Florida Institute of Technology and I'm interested in bringing together elements of astrophysics, geology, chemistry, and biology to pursue a career in astrobiology and the origins of life on terrestrial worlds.
