I am a volcano geophysicist and educator specializing in seismic anisotropy, volcano seismology, and multiparameter geophysical analysis. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences at Pensacola State College, where I teach Introduction to Earth Science and General Oceanography.

My research focuses on understanding tectonic and magmatic processes that drive volcanic systems. I have participated in a wide range of geophysical projects, using methods such as seismology (active and passive source), geodesy, numerical and statistical modeling, and potential field analysis (gravity and magnetics). I also have experience preparing samples for melt inclusions analysis on SEM, ICPMS, and FTIR equipment.

I earned my B.S. in Geosciences (with a minor in Chemistry) from Florida International University, where I worked on olivine sample preparation and geochemical analyses. I completed my M.S. in Geophysics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, studying deep low-frequency seismic event beneath arc volcanoes in Kamchatka and Alaska, participating in volcano monitoring with the Alaska Volcano Observatory, and assisting with K-12 outreach. My PhD. in Geophysics from the University of South Florida explored volcanic processes through seismic and multi-parameter data analysis, with a particular interest in Caribbean volcanism and melt segregation processes.
