About Me

I'm originally from Chicago, IL and have been moving further and further south to pursue my education. I currently live in Austin, TX with my dog Red. Most of my time is spent either on the UT campus or at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus, which houses the Institute for Geophysics. When I'm not working, I'm usually walking, running, or hiking with Red, playing ultimate frisbee or field hockey, or cooking.
