I received my BS in Meteorology at Valparaiso University in 2017. I am currently a graduate research assistant at the University of Iowa. I am studying for my PhD in civil and environmental engineering and have the honor of being one of the first students in the newly developed Sustainable Water Development program.

Outside of research and school, I love to paint, read, play video games, and practice clarinet. I am a member of the University of Iowa Concert Band and also sell custom painted shoes in my, extremely limited, spare time.
