Hello! I recently completed my Ph.D. and am looking for jobs in the private sector. I am interested in applying my skills to new topics, including those outside the Earth Sciences. In addition to my expertise in satellite and geospatial data, I have extensive experience in data science, machine learning, and advanced statistical analysis which are broadly transferrable to other fields. Take a look at my resume, and feel free to reach out by email or LinkedIn if you want to connect with me.

During my Ph.D. I worked with Daniel Jacob at Harvard University using Bayesian inverse modeling of satellite observations and GEOS-Chem, a global chemical transport model, to constrain methane sources and sinks. I also worked with Carbon Mapper, Inc. to develop a model to estimate coal mine methane emissions at the basin- and national- scales with hyperspectral remote sensing of methane, and spent 6 months as a data science intern at Tesla for the Supercharger team.

Before graduate school, I was fortunate to work with Tracey Holloway at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at the NOAA Geophyisical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory with Larry Horowitz and Vaishali Naik, and at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with Dr. Jennifer Newman.
