Biography

I am a Master’s student working with Dr. Mark Behn. My research interests include marine geochemistry and planetary geology. My project focuses on analyzing the geochemistry of the Southwest Indian Ridge to track potential melt paths of the rising mantle material. Besides geology, I enjoy finding new coffee shops, hiking, and reading. Why did you choose Boston College for your postgraduate work? I chose BC because it gave me an opportunity to study geology with experts in the field. I felt that the environment would provide an excellent place for me to continue my education.
