I am an NSF Graduate Research Fellow beginning a PhD in astrophysics this year at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I will be working with Professor Caitlin Casey to study distant galaxies and active galactic nuclei. In 2026, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, where I received a B.S. in physics and astronomy. There, I also studied little red dots with Professor Steven Finkelstein as part of his galaxy evolution research group. Other projects I have been involved in also include research on pulsars in globular clusters, protoplanetary disks, and white dwarfs.
