Currently an undergraduate at BGSU. I am pursuing a degree in physics with minors in astronomy, computer science, and math. I have access to the telescopes provided here at BGSU, and currently work on staff as a part of the stargaze staff.

I hope to further my observational career! My goal is to be an "experimenter" in astronomy: logging observations and acquiring data, and using this data to learn more about the universe. I am not sure about specialization yet, but leaning towards radio astronomy. Galaxy formation, nucleosynthesis, exoplanets, and orbital mechanics are all possible paths I'm looking towards.

For any questions, please contact me!

I named my cat after the Pleiades :) it's the mini-dipper! I love it!

The big red jewel! It was pretty low on the horizon, but I got a chance to show it off anyways. Gotta demonstrate stellar evolution!

Pretty standard stargaze :) gotta spare some time to take a look at the planets before they set!
