I grew up in the city of Austin, Texas, daughter of a northeast transplant and a Texan. My fascination with geology and paleontology began when I was in grade school and visited Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown on a school field trip. I entered graduate school as a vertebrate paleontologist as I was obsessed with the history of life. I switched to stable isotope geochemistry because I realized that I was actually more interested in the history of our climate and how it affects ecosystem dynamics.
Before starting my first postdoc, I taught two semesters of Introduction to Environmental Science at Austin Community College in the spring and summer semesters. I was a UDSA-NIFA-AFRI Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Plant & Soil Sciences at the University of Delaware and a Blaustein Fellow in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. I am now a Research Associate in the Paleo3 group at the Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University.
