About Me

I'm a 5th year PhD candidate 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) and Dr. Stephen Tegler (NAU Dept. of Astronomy and Planetary Science) primarily focusing on the interactions of hydrocarbons and nitrogen in the context of Titan's surface liquids.  I was awarded the 2020 NASA FINESST Fellowship, which has allowed me to continue my work on Titan's lakes.

Between 2021–2023, I had the opportunity to work with the DraGNS (Dragonfly Gamma-ray Neutron Spectrometer) team, as part of the Dragonfly Student and Early Career Guest Investigator Program. The project focused on determining the full potential of gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy on a world enriched in hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen. This instrument will be aboard the Dragonfly rotorcraft, which is anticipated to land on Titan in the mid-2030's.
​
When I'm not on Titan, I enjoy making art, cooking, rock climbing, and exploring the southwest.
