I’m passionate about sharing my excitement about science, experience as a physicist, and knowledge about astrophysics!

I do lots of different education and outreach activities. I've listed most of them below and there are details about my most active projects on the sub-pages. If you are interested in any of these opportunities or would like to collaborate with me I'd be happy to talk about how you can get involved!
