I am a proud alumna of Agnes Scott College, a women's college located in Decatur, GA, right outside of Atlanta. I completed a double major in physics and music with a minor in mathematics. Within my collegiate career, I have been very involved in campus life, serving as president of the ASC Honor Court and our campus chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, the international music fraternity for women. I have been an active member of our SPS chapter and our theater organization, the Blackfriars. I also had the amazing opportunity to study at the University of Technology, Sydney in Sydney, Australia during the spring of 2014.

I have played the piano for 13 years, percussion for 9 years, and oboe for 11 years. I started my own piano studio this year, and my eight students have helped me discover my passion for teaching and sharing knowledge with others. I am very excited to have the opportunity this summer to apply my experience at a women's college to support gender and racial minorities in physics, as well as to promote education in the history of science overall. Although I grew up in eastern North Carolina, I was born in Westminster, MD and am excited to be able to return to the area this summer. I love the beach, coffee, going out to eat, and, of course, anything involving music - including karaoke!
