I am a PhD. fellow at the New Mexico Inst. of Mining and Technology studying astrophysics. My research focuses on the radio emission from pulsars and how pulsars can be used as detectors of nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves through coordinated timing observations. Concurrently, I work on understanding the galactic population of pulsars and strategically plan pulsar timing observations that maximize gravitational wave science results. My research advisor is Paul Demorest. In addition to my graduate studies, I work as a freelance science communicator, producing and editing educational multimedia content for the public. I have worked as a fact-checker for SciShow, written scripts for the Pulsar Science Collaboratory citizen science online practicum, and developed novel public outreach techniques for presenting gravitational wave science for the NANOGrav collaboration. I am a full member of NANOGrav in the Strategic Planning, Pulsar Search, and Education and Public Outreach working groups.

I received my bachelors degree in Astronomy and Physics from Stony Brook University where I worked on classical novae and fast radio bursts. After graduating from Stony Brook, I worked as a research intern at Gemini North in Hawaii on high-redshift galaxy clusters.
