Postdoctoral research fellow at the International Arctic Research Center where I examine glacier mass loss and hydrological change in glacier watersheds, and downstream impacts. I have extensive experience in the field, both in planning and execution. I have also studied the impacts of exploring glacial landscapes on environmental identity formation in youth.

Director of the Alaska programs of Inspiring Girls Expeditions, including Girls on Ice Alaska, which I co-founded in 2012. Inspiring Girls Expeditions are unique, free, backcountry science programs for underserved high school female-identifying youth, focused on developing young womxn's STEM, art, wilderness travel, and leadership skills. I also conduct education research on the impacts of these expeditions.

I have experience working with film crews showcasing Alaska's glaciers, including an interview on CBC's The National, the German documentary Abenteuer Alaska, and the National Geographic IMAX film 'Extreme Weather.' I also regularly give interviews to journalists and filmmakers.

In Dec. 2016, I participated in the inaugural Homeward Bound expedition, a three-week leadership and strategic program for 78 female scientists from around the world, as featured in Marie Claire and Forbes magazines, for which I was interviewed. I tell about my experience on the program in podcasts from Expat Sandwich and My Home Planet.

I am deeply passionate about and active in promoting diversity and inclusivity in the sciences. I have organized and led 2-day leadership workshops for early career women in science and for improving diversity and inclusivity, for 40 participants each from around Alaska.
