School: Queens College
Major(s): BS Geology
About me:
I attend Queens College in busy New York City. I am a senior studying geology and I love rocks. I love rocks because they tell us about earth development through billions of years. They can tell us about past climate, volcanic activity, asteroid impacts, the evolution of life and much more. I hope to attend graduate school and study heliosphere lithosphere interactions and planetary geology. Here at Goddard Space Flight Center, I lead the Lunar Water and Helium Detection team. We are designing a device for the remote detection of water and helium at the lunar South Pole. It is an exciting and pertinent project. My team is more than up for the challenge.
This is my second summer at Goddard and I always love being here surrounded by so many great scientists. This summer I am particularly excited to go on our geologic expedition to the Sudbury Basin. I am the only geologist in LPSA this year and we will be collecting geologic data during our expedition. Our goal is to simulate a planetary landing and collect as much data as possible in order to complete field truth comparisons. I have my rock hammer ready!
