I graduated from James Madison University in 1998 with a degree in Theatre and Geology. I then spent 7 years working as the Outreach and Education Coordinator for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program in Southern California where I saw first hand how critical geologic and seismic hazards communication and education is to people who live in earthquake prone regions. I left the USGS in 2006 to continue my education, and completed a masters degree in Tectonic Geomorphology at Ohio State University in 2008. I am currently at Arizona State University pursuing a Ph.D. My primary research project at ASU focuses on studying the Karakoram Fault on a variety of spatial and temporal scales in order to understand the evolution and behavior of the fault system and the role it plays in the kinematics of Indian/Eurasian deformation. I have worked on many tectonics related projects including the B4 LiDAR project in Southern California, climate and tectonics studies in Northwestern Argentina, GPS deployment projects in Bolivia and thrust fault studies in the Andean Precordillera of Argentina. My research interests include geomorphology, paleoseismology, landscape evolution, geologic hazards communication and geoscience education.
