Graduate school interests

Interested in geography, soil sciences, as well as peatlands and other wetlands. I would love to study how wetland habitats respond to disturbances, and investigate the carbon storage capacity of peatlands and fens.

Outside the classroom

I love being outdoors! I like to go hiking, swimming, rollerblading, and snowboarding in the winter. I also enjoy exercising at the gym, and playing musical instruments such as the flute and guitar. I love to socialize with my friends and family and I am always excited to meet new people, travel places I've never been, or pick up a new hobby!
