My current home is at North Carolina State University where I major in Physics and minor in Mathematics. I expect to graduate in May 2019 and I am very excited to take the next time in my life-long learning journey. Outside of the classroom and the books, I mostly spend time doing research with the nuclear group in the physics department. I’m currently working on an independent project that involves background analysis of the PULSTAR reactor at State using a High Purity Germanium detector; a project I’ve been working on since last summer.

Outside of my physics world I try to keep my life balanced with various arts including violin, electric bass guitar, occasional piano, singing, and even some (bad) acting. I participate in jam sessions and quartets whenever possible and played 2nd violin with the Raleigh Civic Symphony for 3 years. Recently, I’ve focused my efforts at a local AME church as a violin instructor. This experience, along with many others, have inspired my most recent passion for teaching. I hope someday to be doing a combination of teaching physics, nuclear fusion research and musical composition.
