Presentations
Over the past decade I have presented at many conferences including American Geophysical Union (AGU), Geological Society of America (GSA), Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC), and Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCon). Below you will find a selection of presentations from my doctoral program.
Astrobiology Science Conference 2026 – Madison, WI
I presented the final data and interpretations of my Icelandic Hydrothermal Springs Biosignature Detection work. You can see my abstract here and my poster here.
National Association of Black Geoscientists 2025 – Golden, CO
My first time attending this conference! I was able to present my work on biosignature detection in hydrothermal Icelandic systems to a largely oil, gas, and mining group of geologists. I greatly enjoyed the discussions around my work and connecting with a larger group of geoscientists.
Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2025 – The Woodlands, TX
I had the opportunity to present my talk on preservation and detection of biosignatures in Icelandic hydrothermal systems. You can see my abstract here and copy of my presentation here.
Astrobiology Science Conference 2024 – Providence, RI
This was my very first oral presentation as a graduate student. I was super nervous! But now, I love giving talks. I had such good questions and conversation following my talk. I am grateful for all of the feedback. You can see my abstract here and a copy of my presentation here.
Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2024 – The Woodlands, TX
At this conference, I was able to present preliminary data on my work investigating SAM instrument by-products. You can read my abstract here and view my poster here.
Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2023 – The Woodlands, TX
My first LPSC! The highlight of this conference was definitely running into my old boss, Dr. Caffee! You can read my abstract here and my see my poster here.
Astrobiology Science Conference 2022 – Atlanta, GA
My very first conference in my PhD program. I presented preliminary data on novel metabolic biosignatures. You can view my abstract here and my poster here.
