Welcome to my page! Thank you so much for stopping by to explore my work and get to know me. I just wrapped up my second year as a PhD student! I'm broadly interested in how gas flows through the universe. During my Master's program, I worked on analyzing and modeling methanol spectral lines toward ionized jet candidates in high-mass star-forming regions. Now I'm expanding that passion to larger scales, studying the CGM to understand how galaxies acquire, recycle, and lose their gas.

I genuinely love working with telescopes—that hands-on experience is a big part of why I jumped at the chance to host star parties at OU.

Outside of research, I make it a point to swim or go to the gym every day or at least try to! I absolutely love vibing to music and dancing—it's my go-to way to unwind and reset!
