   intro_statements:
   - I am an igneous petrologist interested in the role magmatic processes play in
     driving plate tectonics, building mountains, forming of volcanic belts and their
     associated geologic hazards, and forming hydrothermal ore deposits.

   personal_statement: My research is focused on the evolution of magmatic systems.
     I study extinct systems, using exposures to explore internal processes driving
     magma, analogous to the plumbing systems feeding active volcanoes. I combine
     field geology, geochronology, geochemistry, and petrology to constrain conditions
     of magmatic storage and differentiation that result in either eruption or pluton
     emplacement and help us understand the larger architecture of magmatic systems.
