I was born in Bethesda, MD, and grew up in the circumference of a hadron collider in Switzerland, in a valley between the Jura and the Alps.

I graduated from the University of Southern California in 2015 with Bachelor’s degrees in physics and mathematics. I began graduate work in physics at MIT with Josh Winn, and transferred to Princeton to continue the same. I completed my doctoral studies at Princeton’s Department of Astrophysical Sciences in 2021. During graduate school, I enjoyed fruitful collaboration with the TESS science team, as well as the architects and executors of the HAT Exoplanet Surveys.

I have been a 51 Pegasi b postdoctoral fellow at Caltech since 2021, and I reside in Pasadena, CA. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and getting outside.
