Physical Oceanography

I am a physical oceanography graduate student in the UW School of Oceanography, working with Parker MacCready and the UW Coastal Modeling Group. I study estuarine dynamics in Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. My current research employs realistic numerical models to study the relationship between the estuarine exchange flow and mixing in the Salish Sea using a salinity variance-based framework.

I completed my BASc in Engineering Physics at Queen's University (Canada) in 2018, MS in Applied Mathematics at UW in 2020, and MS in Oceanography at UW in 2021.
