Before heading to the Clipper PSG, had to take a little detour to see Mt. St Helens. Also gotta love a window seat when coming to Oregon.

I want to go to the Progress in Understanding the Pluto System since I’m already at APL. But tell me why registration is $300, and yes they told me even though I’m already there I have to pay. :( I just want to attend since Pluto started my planetary career. 😢

Sometimes I forget about my LinkedIn. I just realized I haven’t really updated it and boy it needed some work. Oops

Welp I haven’t used GMT in so long that I essentially forgot how to use it mostly. 😓

Excited to head to EGU this Friday. Come see my talk about what gravity can tell us about the nature of rifting on Venus! Wednesday morning!

Also excited to start my research on Europa’s ice shell convection with my amazing APL mentor,James, once I return for the summer.

Who’s that girl? Hey it’s me, making my debut into Venusian research with a talk on my crustal thickness models and what they are able to tell us about the nature of rifting on Venus. If you missed my talk it’s been recorded or you can come find me or witness it at EGU. #LPSC2025

Come one, come all to all of our Baylor planetary talks and posters on Tu. My talk will be on the nature of rifting on Venus revealed by gravity at 3:40 pm. If I don’t give you enough Venus content, we also have 2 Venus posters and even 2 Moon posters that evening by other fellow members. #LPSC2025

Entering the Bluesky world finally in time for #LPSC2025. If you’re here or just like planetary content please follow me! I’ll be presenting Venus work on Tuesday! Also if you want to relax and play board games I’m planning a board game night on Wednesday!
