Hello! I am a third year graduate student in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Dartmouth College. I currently research two very different regimes: ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). I work with Professors Ryan Hickox, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, and Elisabeth Newton.

Broadly, I am interested in the evolution of galaxies, and how supermassive black holes impact this evolution. I like to think about the short (days to months) and long (thousands of years) term variability of AGN as well as local analogs of high-redshift galaxies. Much of my work is enabled by large scale, open-access surveys (e.g. eBOSS, MaNGA, LSST).

Welcome to my website, my hope is for this site to be accessible across various education levels -- don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
