I am committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive and equitable environment in the lab and classroom, regardless of race, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, immigration status, (dis)ability or socio-economic background. 

This lab does not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind in the laboratory, field, classroom, online, at conferences, or at any lab events, on or off campus. I support individuals facing harassment by believing them, providing a supportive environment and providing resources when they ask for it.

For those interested in learning more about why diversity, equity and inclusion is vital for STEM, and geosciences especially, please see the following (excellent) resources. These are just a few of many:
