I joined UC Berkeley’s Space Science Lab in the fall of 2020, starting a new chapter of my life on the West Coast. Prior to moving, I lived in Greenbelt, Maryland for most of my life. I went to Swarthmore College just outside of Philadelphia. I graduated in spring of 2020 with a degree in Engineering and a Religious Studies minor.

I’ve been fascinated by space since I was about 4 years old and I am proud to be helping enable space physics research now, 18 years on. In the image on the left, I’m the small satellite. I’ve had the benefit of a multidisciplinary engineering education at Swarthmore and I was lucky enough to spend a couple of summers working on neutral particle detectors for Cubesats with Dr. Georgia de Nolfo at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of board games and I have been known to do tech for community theaters.
