I'm excited to share that my TEDx talk, given at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 2024 Planet Action Summit, is now live! Learn more about the impacts of black carbon on our environment and what we can potentially do to solve part of the climate crisis.

During my PhD, while working in Nepal, I received a USAID grant. My research focused on understanding the formation and growth of supraglacial lakes, which can accelerate glacial melting and pose risks of flooding to downstream communities. Much gratitude to USAID for this. ๐Ÿ™

Iโ€™m a scientist (studying human impact in polar regions and mountains), science communicator, expedition leader (for those wanting to go into the wild and help out with science research), and mountaineer, working on Coloradoโ€™s 100 highest peaks. Connect if interested in any/all of the above!
