I love all things geology! I am particularly interested in the changes in natural systems caused by anthropogenic activities. I have majors in Chemistry, Geology, and Mathematics because I love all three areas and wanted to combine them to enhance my understanding of each. Outside of school I like to go camping, hiking, and travelling to places where I can camp, hike, and checkout both the geology and the culture. 

I'm currently working on a polymer synthesis project in the Organic Chemistry Lab, but my senior research project will involve a characterization of acid mine drainage. I plan on pursuing a doctorate in Environmental Chemistry; I would like to work on remediation studies combined using material science.
