I am an atmospheric scientist specializing in operating atmospheric instrumentation to study air quality impacts from aerosols and gases. I go where we need answers, whether that be a flying laboratory through wildfire smoke or a long-term monitoring station atop the Swiss Alps. I am motivated by my love for the outdoors and to affect positive change for the environment.
