About Me

I am a PhD candidate working with Matt Mazloff at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I received my B.A. (2016) and B.E. (2017) in Engineering and French from Dartmouth College. From 2017-2021 I worked as an embedded software engineer at Sarcos Robotics in Salt Lake City, UT. I received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from UCSD in 2023.

My research focuses on estimation and optimization for oceanographic applications. I am most interested in data assimilation and optimization tools for climate/ocean model development and forecasting. My primary region of interest is the Tropical Pacific Ocean. I am enthusiastic about being a science tour guide for the Scripps Community Outreach for Publich Education (SCOPE) program and a certified instructor for the Software Carpentries organization. I am motivated by the impact of the projects I am involved in as well as by the teams of fun people I get to work with! I am passionate about science communication, teaching/mentorship, and female empowerment in engineering and ocean sciences.

In my free time I like to surf, whitewater kayak, bike, climb and play the violin.
