Bio: Born and raised in Rhode Island, I completed my undergraduate degree in Geology in 2023 at the University of Rhode Island, and began my Master’s in Environmental and Earth Sciences in the Fall of 2024. The majority of my research focuses on hydrogeology, with an emphasis on geophysical methods as a way to image the subsurface.
