Oreos, Kittens, Springs
If you had asked me one year ago where I thought I would be this summer, I doubt I would have said slogging up a stream-bed in knee-deep mud, searching for springs. It was an experience I’ll never forget.
Ticks, Crocs, Oreos, and Socks.
Three weeks for three different locations. And 105 total springs. To say I didn’t know what to expect when I accepted my offer from Keck is an understatement—I had never been west of Pennsylvania, and never had I ever seen so much water.
Can You Belize It?
Have you ever wanted to fly? Well, diving made me feel like I was soaring. There is a whole world under the water and for a brief amount of time, I was a part of it. As the summer is coming to a close and school is quickly approaching, I wanted to share the experience of my first college research through the Keck Geology Consortium Coral research project.

I applied to the Glacier National Park REU not knowing what to fully expect and I’m so glad that I did. What I really loved about this trip is how much I learned about myself through things I did and experienced.
The People of Glacier National Park!
Glacier National Park, Montana saw almost three million visitors over the course of its open season in 2023, most headed for attractions like the famous Going-to-the-Sun-Road, the iconic Many Glacier Hotel, and natural spectacles such as the wildlife, alpine scenery, and glacial lakes. As a student researcher staying in the Park for several weeks this summer, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of those visitors and share in their excitement to be in the Park & learn about our work.
