Hi there! I'm pursuing my Ph.D. in Planetary Science at the University of California, Davis. I work with extraterrestrial materials in order to unravel the clues to the origin and evolution of the Solar System and our planet Earth. I love hiking, adventure, photography, exploring new places (national parks as well as cities) and new experiences. I enjoy anything outdoors, or relaxing indoors watching movies, reading a book, listening to music, or trying out new recipes. I'm very easygoing and love making new friends!
