   intro_statements:
   - My research is focused on how to best describe the behavior of active faults
     in the recent past. I use methods such as paleoseismology, slip rate studies,
     topographic analysis, numerical modeling and tectonic reconstructions to understand
     how earthquakes occur in space and time, both on single faults and within larger
     fault systems.

   personal_statement: 'Overall, I am interested in how faults evolve over time and
     characterizing variability and evolution of fault behavior on across different
     space-time scales. An overarching goal of my work is to understand how to represent
     geological constraints within hazard models, like the National Seismic Hazard
     Map and the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast.Professional ExperienceResearch
