Transit survey follow-up
By searching and accounting for unresolved stellar companions near Kepler targets in Prof. Courtney Dressing's group, I've made updates to exoplanet occurrence rates.
I'm a graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park.
I've just started my first year in the Astronomy Department at UMD. I spent my undergraduate years in foggy Berkeley, California, where I earned degrees in Physics and Astrophysics. How unique is the Earth? Are we alone in the Universe? Stay tuned!
Research
Image-reduction pipeline
With Dr. Lea Hirsch, I've worked to extend an image-reduction pipeline and make it open-source.
Exoplanet atmospheres at high resolution
I'm working on post-processing global climate models with high-resolution radiative transfer codes in extreme regions of parameter space with Prof. Eliza Kempton.

Research pedagogy
For more than two years, I was involved in leadership with the Undergraduate Lab at Berkeley's Physics and Astronomy branch. I've also produced materials for the TARDIS collaboration.
UC Berkeley UGSI
I taught as a UGSI (undergraduate student instructor) at UC Berkeley for three semesters.
