I’m a rising senior at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in math and geophysics. I found out about the Cascadia2021 project while browsing summer research opportunities. Going into the project, I had a limited Earth science background and had spent no time in the field. Each day, I enjoyed getting to know my more experienced field partner, who was always eager to show me the ropes. I’m looking forward to what we will learn from the data!
