My research focuses on characterizing the factors affecting the solubility of trace metals in Miami and Barbados aerosols and precipitation, focusing on species that could play a role in surface seawater biogeochemistry. 

      I am currently at the University of Miami Rosenthiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences finishing my PhD in Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry.  My dissertation Chemistry of Fe and Other Dust-related Trace Elements in Trade Wind Aerosols and Precipitation is nearing completion.
