About

I am an Environmental Geochemist studying contaminants in natural, human-impacted, and engineered systems. My research addresses local and global issues related to sustainability and urbanization, including waste valorization for nutrient recovery and resource conservation, contaminant sequestration using sustainably sourced sorbents, and heavy metal pollutant profiles and speciation in local urban soils. I combine my research and professional activities to expand and create opportunities for minoritized groups in the geosciences and other scientific disciplines.

Current Work

I lead several initiatives to increase representation in STEM, funded by the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Clare Boothe Luce Foundation.
