I grew up on the river and have since fallen in love with the coast. I am currently pursuing my masters degree from UNC Chapel Hill in Marine Sciences specializing in coastal geology. I received my BS in geology at the same school. As a scientist, I'm always eager to learn more about the way the world works, and I hope to contribute to the vast knowledge belonging to humanity. I spend the majority of weekends away from school to reach beyond the lab and see what else the world can offer and what I can offer the world in return.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My sister and I hiked 440 miles along Camino de Santiago, sleeping in our tiny tent along the way. Our thrifty method of traveling earned us the trail name, "The Tent Girls."

教，学，和分享

Sea-level in North Carolina is rising at about 2.1 mm/yr (Kemp et al 2011). I study how salt-marshes and oyster reefs react to sea-level rise. Ask me about my research and I can tell you more!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Raised in south, I can clean a house. If you provide the supplies, I will gladly get your bathroom, kitchen, living room, or what have you in tip-top shape (within reason).
