I am a graduating student at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah with a bachelor’s degree in Physics. I’ve spent most of my undergraduate research time characterizing instrumentation for a new research observatory at my university, along with an internship studying Earth’s dynamo effect on the upper ionosphere at UC Berkeley’s Space Science Lab.

The past few years I’ve stumbled upon an enthusiasm for education outreach. Being a first-generation college student, I enjoy connecting with other first-generation students with math and science outreach. I also work at a planetarium, which, on top just being fun, has helped me learn the art of sharing how we humans can understand our universe. If not doing any of this stuff, you can normally find me outside running, hiking, or biking. In the future, I am looking to continue doing science outreach, and to pursue a graduate degree in astrophysics.
