Project: A Sardinian Sulfur Isoscape

​

Bio

Amy heard so many recommendations about TEAL that she followed the siren call of sulfur stable isotope analysis all the way from British Columbia. While she misses the mountains back home and her beloved frankenmutt Gus, she is eager to amble/stroll (not hike!) along our beautiful trails and explore our many lakes and rivers. In particular, she wants to try swimming the Otonabee. The Patch is currently the easternmost point of Canada she has inhabited, and she is also kind of looking forward to experiencing our winter (albeit with an undertone of dread).

While Amy describes her weakness as a tendency to be unfocused and scatterbrained, she is far too hard on herself! She has surmounted many challenges to come back to school and fulfill her childhood dream to become an archaeologist. Her open, sociable nature, penchant for informational rabbit holes, and personal motto "It is what it is" are a perfect foundation to excel in her quest for knowledge, skills expansion, and novel experiences at Trent. Her ability to fall asleep anywhere (hopefully not in class!) will help with burning the candle at both ends at this stage of graduate life.

Her current goals are to get through the theory course and learn basic Italian by May to help in her upcoming Sardinian fieldwork. Ciao! Bio by Kate Dougherty.
