Research

About me: I am a fifth-year graduate student at the University of Washington pursuing a dual-title PhD in Astronomy and Astrobiology. I am a member of UW's Virtual Planetary Laboratory and conduct research under the advisement of Prof. Vikki Meadows. Broadly, I work to understand how we can use the upcoming extremely large telescopes to search for signs of habitability and life on terrestrial-sized exoplanets orbiting nearby M-dwarf stars. I use high-resolution spectroscopy and cross-correlation analysis to find signals of molecular species in atmospheres.

Community

I am a (very) amateur graphic designer with no formal training, and I really enjoy designing ways to help communicate science. I currently design posters and flyers for Astronomy on Tap Seattle, and am always looking for new ways to improve my designs.

I joined the NASA Nexus for Exoplanet Science (NExSS) Science Communication Working Group (SCWG) in 2020 as the lead designer and contributing writer for the monthly NExSS newsletter. I am looking forward to honing my graphic design skills and finding new ways to communicate science!

You can find links my NExSS Newsletter designs here!

Outside

When I'm not doing or communicating science, I am an active member of The Mountaineers in Seattle, a local mountaineering group focused on outdoor education, stewardship, and adventuring. I love climbing mountains, backpacking in remote areas, and any kind of Type II Fun.
