Geosciences has traditionally been distinctly non-diverse among STEM disciplines; this inequity is particularly problematic given that human impacts on Earth most often affect disadvantaged people first. I believe that by teaching students how to think like geoscientists, we can improve human equity. When we understand how Earth’s systems work and are connected to human life, we can better understand how to use our resources responsibly and equitably. I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive community of people with various identities and backgrounds working together.
