Biography
I’m interested in the interaction between surface waves and upper ocean processes across different spatial and temporal scales and in dynamic ocean environments, whether that be extreme storms or complex coastal regions. I received my PhD in Oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 2024, where I combined observational and theoretical approaches to study wave-current interactions in tidally-dominated environments. Prior to my PhD, I studied physics and astronomy at Pomona College. I’m originally from San Diego.
