Advisor: Enrique Vivoni

I am a master’s student with Dr. Enrique Vivoni in Geological Sciences at Arizona State University, School of Earth and Space Exploration. I previously received a B.S. in Geological Sciences from the University of Delaware (2021). I am studying the subsurface migration of water in an experimental watershed to understand how its behavior relates to surrounding landscapes and ecosystems. The work will be expanded to other parts of the basin to compare different types of bajada watersheds and will contribute to an understanding of hydrologic connectivity on a broader scale across the landscape. My research interests are: desert hydrology, hydrologic connectivity, groundwater-surface water interactions, groundwater flow.
