Hello Bluesky!
I’m a PhD student at UC Davis EPS & Bodega Marine Lab applying paleobiology to North American west coast bivalve conservation & restoration, especially the Olympia oyster.
Passionate about education, community-based work, and Indigenous rights. And I play tuba!

Spent this week doing fieldwork in the Neoproterozoic, now getting ready for presenting on Quaternary research at #gsacordilleran. Time travel doesn’t pay well but it’s a pretty sweet gig :)
