I was originally trained as a high-temperature geochemist and economic geologist. My research focus switched to cosmochemistry during my Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis, and I enjoyed exploring the story behind every meteorite sample.

I am now an isotope geochemist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. My research interests include the development of analytical methods for non-traditional isotopes (e.g., K and W), the origin and evolution of the early Solar System, and biogeochemical cycling of metal elements.
