I am a sixth-year astronomy PhD candidate at The Ohio State University. I study the Milky Way and the origin of the elements using galactic archeology and chemical evolution models. My PhD advisor is Prof. Jennifer Johnson. I am also on the leadership team of the Polaris program, and I was awarded a Presidential Fellowship for the 2025-2026 year.
Originally from Portland, Oregon, I graduated from Whitman College in 2021 with a BA in astrophysics and music performance. In my spare time I enjoy rock climbing, photography, and playing the cello.
