About Me:

My pronouns are:

she/her
My Work:

I’m an environmental sciences PhD student studying Arctic rivers affected by climate change in Alaska!🏔
My Typical Day:

In the summer, I live at a small station with about 80 other people, it’s a 2 hour drive south of the Arctic Ocean! I wake up at 7 am, pack my lunch from the dining hall and get in a helicopter! I spend the day flying to different places to collect water, then I fly back to our lab and do some lab work until dinner time at 6 pm. Then, we come back to lab and continue with our lab work while watching movies. I go back to my room to sleep around 11 pm. It’s a busy day, but a lot of fun being outside with friends!
What I'd do with the prize money:

I would use it to create an exhibit for our local public library to teach students about water and the Arctic! The exhibit would involve books, displays, and activities. We would have small prizes, like stickers, for students who participated in an activity or read one of the books.
