I am an observational seismologist who works on understanding subduction zone processes, the structure and evolution of continental lithosphere, and the dynamics of the deep mantle. My research encompasses a substantial field component, with recent or ongoing seismometer deployments in the Pacific Northwest U.S., Peru, and eastern North America. I am committed to cultivating diversity, inclusion, and equity in geoscience, and to outreach activities aimed at K-12 teachers and the general public.
