As UNAVCO's outreach specialist, I work to communicate the exciting science UNAVCO supports and its societal applications. I moved to Colorado to work with UNAVCO more than 15 years ago, while finishing a master's degree in geophysics at Indiana University, and worked for several years as a field engineer before transitioning into outreach. After completing a second master's degree in journalism at CU-Boulder, I returned to UNAVCO full-time in my current capacity. I am passionate about finding ways to reach audiences of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, understanding volcanoes, and teaching scientists to be more effective communicators.
