I am an astronomer and science communicator, currently a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow through the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) at NASA GSFC. I graduated from Harvard University, where I was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, with my PhD in Astronomy in May 2026.
I study exoplanets (planets outside of the solar system). In particular, I detect and characterize small exoplanets by precisely measuring their masses using stellar radial velocities. I also work to characterize their host stars, identifying them as members of the Milky Way thick disk, in an effort to understand how galactic context impacts exoplanet formation and evolution.
