I am a rising junior in the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College in New York City. I am pursuing a degree in physics with minors in mathematics and cultural anthropology. In addition to Hunter College, my second institutional home is the American Museum of Natural History, where I have been working for three years. I started as an intern in the education department during the summer after my junior year of high school. It was during that internship that I discovered my passion for science outreach. I currently hold positions in the astrophysics department of the museum doing research on brown dwarfs, and in the education department mentoring two high school students through coding projects related to the science of brown dwarfs.

I have lived in New York City my whole life, and as much as I love it, I also love to travel. I have been to Oregon, California, Texas, and Reykjavik, Iceland in the past year. In addition, I was lucky enough to participate in a weeklong observing run at a telescope in Arizona. I am really looking forward to adding Washington, DC to the list of cities I've explored!
