I am a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison studying astrophysics under Prof. Elena D’Onghia. My research interests broadly span dwarf galaxy structure and dynamics, with an emphasis on the role of the circumgalactic medium, utilizing cosmological simulations. I am a member of the CLUES collaboration, and the SDSS collaboration.

I did my undergrad at University of Chicago where I worked in instrumentation and commissioning for two ultra-high-energy neutrino detectors: RNO-G (Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland) & BEACON (Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos).

I currently work for Professor Vandenbroucke on developing the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) for future work as part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO).
