I am currently a Houghton Postdoctoral Fellow focused on Climate Dynamics in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. In 2025, I completed my PhD in Atmospheric and Climate Science at the University of Washington.

My research spans modern climate dynamics (including global change and natural variability), paleoclimate, and climate reconstruction. I investigate how changes in Earth's past can provide insights into Earth's future. How much does the Earth warm from rising greenhouse-gas concentrations, and how do different spatial patterns of warming lead to different changes in Earth's energy budget? How can we use data from Earth's past (paleoclimates and the historical record) to inform estimates of future warming and changes in the water cycle? Why does natural variability occur in Earth's climate?

I am originally from Granville, a small town in rural Ohio. Before graduate school at the University of Washington, I studied at Harvard (A.B. in Statistics) then worked in New York City as an investment banking analyst at Evercore and a private equity associate at American Securities.
