About
I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Earth & Environmental Geoscience Department at Washington & Lee University. I am also a PhD candidate in the School of Earth and Sustainability at Northern Arizona University, focusing on active tectonics. I combine traditional field mapping and paleoseismology methods with modeling of fault slip and stress change. My current research focuses on upper crustal faults on Vancouver Island,  British Columbia, in the northern forearc of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
