 abstract: My work focuses on sediment transport in estuarine systems. Using observations
   and numerical models of physical processes like flow, waves, vegetation, turbulence,
   and sediment flocculation, I'm searching for ways to better understand how sediment
   moves around.

 abstract: Prior to grad school, I worked at the San Francisco Estuary Institute
   with their Regional Monitoring Program for water quality, learning about the interactions
   between scientists and managers. During my PhD and as a post-doc, I worked with
   Dr. Jessica Lacy at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa
   Cruz CA. I started a Mendenhall with Dr. Neil Ganju at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal
   and Marine Science Center in 2021.
