Hey there!
I'm Sophie, and I'm a Master's student at the University of Wyoming studying rare earth element geochemistry in Dr. John Kaszuba's research group. I grew up in San Francisco, CA and received my B.S in Geology from the University of California, Davis. I worked in geotechnical and environmental consulting as a Project Geologist for two years before heading back to school to dive deeper into my geoscience interests.
