  mentoring_philosophy: 'This is intended to be a learning process for everyone involved. I want to foster a safe, welcoming environment for learning and developing laboratory skills. I also want to emphasize that failure is an expected part of the learning process, as long as we communicate our mistakes and allow for the ability to learn from them together. I am willing to adjust my mentoring style to fit my mentee''s needs!'

  overall_research_project_description: 'My project focuses on reconstructing central tropical Pacific climate records over the last millennium with the use of Porites coral fossils from Kiritimati Island. Stable isotope measurements of coral powders from these samples can tell us valuable information about past climate conditions, such as sea surface temperature and precipitation patterns. Through analyzing various stable isotope measurements, such as d18O, Sr/Ca, and Sr-U, we can develop a robust reconstruction of climate conditions in the central tropical Pacific over the last 1,000 years. Through this reconstruction, we are hoping to gain a better idea of how both the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (or ENSO) and background climate varied throughout this time period.'
