I study the ocean’s role in climate variability and predictability.

I am a postdoc at the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES) at the University of Washington and NOAA PMEL. I work with Dr. Zachary Erickson, Dr. Emily Lemagie, Dr. Al Hermann, and Dr. Wei Cheng to study the life cycle and biogeochemical impacts of eddies in the Gulf of Alaska. I assess eddy characteristics and investigate the impacts of GOA eddies on marine primary productivity in both models and observations.

I completed my Ph.D. in oceanography at the University of Washington with Prof. LuAnne Thompson studying air-sea interaction, climate variability, and climate predictability. My research primarily focused on understanding predictions of marine heatwaves and Arctic sea ice. I also am interested in climate justice, community engagement, and climate data science.

Before coming to the University of Washington, I earned my B.A. in Physics from Carleton College.
