My LinkedIn is a great place to connect with me professionally. I’m currently an undergrad at Denison University where I study Earth Science BA and a Spanish minor. I’m working towards finding a graduate program in the Earth Science field. My study abroad in Ecuador will be key in specializing my academic focus.
If you want to see me having fun and being normal go watch my TikTok. I’ll try to post interesting things here, but typically it’s just an unimportant mishmash that keeps me entertained.
