About Me

---

I am a second year PhD student in the Astronomy & Planetary Science program at Northern Arizona University. I work in the Astrophysical Materials Lab with Dr. Jennifer Hanley (Lowell Observatory, NAU Dept. of Astronomy and Planetary Science) primarily focusing on the interactions of hydrocarbons in Titan's lakes.  I was awarded the 2020 NASA FINESST Fellowship, which will allow me to continue my work on Titan's lakes for the next three years. I am also working on a project with Dr. Gerrick Lindberg (NAU Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Dept. of Applied Physics and Materials Science) involving exploring the delamination sites at the interfaces of electrodes and polymer electrolytes in supercapacitors. 
​
When I am not in the lab or office, I enjoy making art, cooking, running, bouldering, and exploring Arizona and the southwest.
