ABOUT ME

      I'm seeking a career that utilizes my capacity to both research and teach. I have a history of publication in both physics and undergraduate teaching methods.

      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 University 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 completed my Ph.D. in physics in September of 2025.
