About

I am a first-year graduate student at IfA Mānoa. My areas of research interest include cosmology and galaxies, with specific interest in high-redshift galaxies, relativistic objects/phenomena, and dark matter/energy. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Agnes Scott College in 2021, graduating summa cum laude. In the summer of 2021, I worked with Dr. Ben Perera at the Arecibo Observatory to study pulsar timing. 
Outside of astronomy my interests and hobbies include visual art, crafting/DIYing, and LGBTQ+ activism. I also enjoy spending time at the beach, whether snorkeling, surfing, or just relaxing after a long week at the office.
