Professional History

I’ve been fortunate to be involved in planetary science since the early 2000s where I participated in several research projects as an undergraduate at the University of Colorado. That is where I discovered how compelling the Martian surface can be when inspected up close using high resolution data and images. After receiving my PhD at the University of Tennessee in 2013 I came aboard the HiRISE team run out of the University of Arizona, Tucson. Working as a research scientist at the University I became well aware of the fantastic science and opportunities at PSI just north of campus.  I was very excited to join PSI in 2020 at their Lakewood Colorado office.  Here at PSI I’m fortunate to work with a great team of scientists investigating various aspects of Mars including surface geology, landscape evolution, and resource utilization.
