About Me


“I'm from five feet of snow, from cool mountain air...”


I was born and rasied near Golden Gate State Park in Colorado. I started playing the flute in the 5th grade, and eight years of marching band brought me to local competitions in Colorado, bowl games in Vegas and Phoenix and Albuquerque, and to the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Dublin. My interest in art has also extended to high school photography classes and making fancy graphics for my data analysis projects.

I'm a second-generation attendee of Colorado State University, a place where I played in the marching band, majored in physics, and developed an intense interest in neutrinos. Those neutrinos carried me to my graduate studies in North Carolina, and I've resided here since 2016. I completed my dissertation in May of 2023.

Now that I'm finished with the Ph.D., I am looking for my first full-time position in industry. I have greatly enjoyed the writing projects I have undertaken over the past decade of academic research, and I would love to branch into a full-time science communication position. Moreover, I am also looking at positions where I can apply my research and analysis skills toward worthy causes and endeavours.
