About Me
Welcome to my page! I'm a postdoctoral researcher working in the UCSC Transients Group in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Department at UC Santa Cruz, where I was previously a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and Cota-Robles Fellow working with Professor Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz.
In addition to astronomy I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and generally anything having to do with music. As a first generation college student, I care deeply about increasing diversity in the physical sciences and have had the wonderful opportunity to serve for several years as a mentor in the Lamat program.
