Sun on Sunday in spring, Astoria, Oregon, view of a red building, and a doc on the shore of the Columbia river, with a ship on the river and a person walking onto the dock. White buds and blooms on branches in the foreground.

You know how we can sometimes prove our own unfounded fears?

I have yet to find my hair band.

Hi Bluesky! I research communication, relationships, and decision-making for risk reduction with a focus on volcanic hazards 🌋 and an eye on equity. Background in geology, Spanish, geophysics, journalism, and social science (broadly). Here for science and cats and new ideas about everything.
Fuego volcano, Guatemala, in silhouette at sunset, with ash drifting up from its summit crater. Floofy black and white cat sleeping on my lap at my desk. Very cute. He has tufts of fur pointing out between his toe, also known as bean sprouts. Me and a group of awesome grad students and our awesome cook in El Salvador on an NSF-funded International Research Experience for Students interdisciplinary research project on water scarcity. Collaboration is the best. Pic of me and friend/research collaborator Dr Ailsa Naismith drinking coffee in front of Fuego Volcano, Guatemala, both with big smiles. Her mug reads “broken crayons still color.” Mine reads “love yourself.” We bought them during our grocery run because it made us laugh to think of them living at the volcano observatory, where we’re pictured.
