About Me
My academic journey in solar-terrestrial physics started in 2007 when I began my graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan (having graduated the previous spring from the University of the Fraser Valley). After receiving my MSc in 2010 I was eager for more research and remained at Saskatchewan until I received my PhD in 2015. Then I joined the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) science team at the University of Calgary until 2019 when I joined NJIT. Since joining NJIT, I have been fortunate enough to work daily with world-class scientists and some very bright and students.

Research Interests
I have had the distinct pleasure of studying some of the most interesting and compelling problems in solar-terrestrial physics for nearly 15 years (since I started my graduate studies). My research focuses on plasma structuring and dynamics in the terrestrial ionosphere and magnetosphere. I employ observational (both in situ and remote sensing) techniques to study the many complex and interconnected processes which occur in the Earth's geospace environment, with a particular focus on the high-latitudes. My work is very rewarding as it is intellectually challenging and allows me to interact and collaborate with many inspiring and brilliant people here in New Jersey and all over the world.I joined the faculty in the Department of Physics and the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in 2019.
