About
Hello! I am a fourth-year PhD candidate at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. My research focuses on a range of transients resulting from accretion onto supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. I’m especially interested in multi-wavelength follow-up of optically-selected transient events.
I was born and raised in Maryland and did my undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. After graduation in 2019, I moved to the University of Hawai’i to begin graduate school. In addition to astronomy I enjoy musicals, sports, and spending time with my cat Cookie! I’m also involved in multiple outreach opportunities including Maunakea Scholars, HI-STAR, and the Astrobites collaboration.
