About

I am a third-year graduate student working with Ben Shappee on transients, mostly type Ia supernvoae. My undergraduate research was centered on globular clusters.

Research

My research background includes type Ia supernovae, tidal disruption events, and globular clusters. My publications in those areas are listed below.
