ABOUT ME
My fascination with the universe started in first grade when I learned about the solar system. That interest developed into a career path when I attended my first college physics class as a high school early college student. During my undergraduate years at UNC-Chapel Hill, I became active in outreach through Carolina Women in Physics of which I eventually became a co-president in my final year.
My PhD research has taken me deeper into the mysteries of galaxies and star clusters, honing my ability to tackle complex problems through quantitative research. Working on tracer particle simulations has given me a solid foundation in data analysis, statistical modeling, and computational methods.
​
As I delved deeper into astrophysics, I realized my passion for solving intricate problems could be applied to issues closer to home—challenges in healthcare, environmental conservation, and economic analysis. Now, I'm excited to pivot my skills from understanding cosmic phenomena to generating actionable insights in data focused roles that has an immediate impact in our everyday lives.
