From Fall 2020 to May 2024, I completed my Bachelor's in Astronomy & Bachelor's in Biology at New Paltz. I conducted research with P.I.s Dr. Amy Bartholomew, Dr. Catherine Herne, Dr. Adam Langeveld (Cornell University), Dr. Maureen Morrow, Dr. Eric Keeling, and various other professors and students.
During my Bachelor's, I worked as an Astronomy Course Tutor, Planetarium Presenter/Educator, Librarian, Admissions Assistant, Student Ambassador, Resident Assistant, Honors Social Media Manager, Honors Liaison, and more! See my CV for details.
