ABOUT ME
I'm seeking a career that utilizes my capacity to both research and teach. I currently volunteer to teach public lectures with various organizations.
My previous educational experience includes grading and acting as a lab assistant for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and George Washington University. I received my M.S. in higher education teaching in 2022 from Purdue Univeristy Global.
I received my bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics from Rose-Hulman in 2018. My physics degree was focused on astrophysics and my mathematics degree on the analysis of continuous functions. I earned my graduate certificate in high-performance computing in 2021, and I plan to complete my Ph.d. in physics in May of 2025.
