I am entering my 1^st year for a PhD program at Georgia Institute of Technology, where I will be studying Planetary Geology. I recently graduated from Salem State University in Massachusetts with a Bachelor degree in Geological Sciences. I discovered the Cascadia2021 Project early in spring 2021 and decided it would be a wonderful opportunity to expand my experience.  Being able to get out in the field alongside other great scientists and students was exhilarating. I made a lot of great connections, and I am happy that were able to accomplish so much in such a short time. The resulting data is sure to be even more rewarding!
