I became involved with Inspiring Girls* as a guest science instructor and gear fairy volunteer for the Girls* on Ice Alaska program in 2015. Being a part of a group of women and girls learning and laughing together in the wilderness was magical, and I was instantly hooked. I felt that this program would help me grow into the person I wanted to be by supporting young women as they face their own challenges and learn how to bring their own spark into the world. I knew I had to continue being involved with Inspiring Girls*. 

I completed a masters degree in Geophysics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2016. My research focus is on using computer models to investigate changes to Alaskan glaciers and water resources. I earned a BS degree in Physics from Carleton College in 2013. I often find myself traveling to cold and snowy places beyond Alaska for field work (and ski adventures!) such as Iceland, Svalbard, Patagonia, and most recently, Antarctica!
