About Me:
I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Mount Holyoke College teaching intro and upper level undergrad astronomy classes.
I was previously a NASA postdoc fellow at NASA Ames working with Dr. Steve Howell and the speckle interferometry group. I studied planets in binary star systems, specifically how binary orbital properties affect planet formation and how planet properties differ in single star systems vs binary star systems.
I received my PhD at Georgia State University working with Dr. Doug Gies to measure the orbits and fundamental parameters of eight visual & spectroscopic binary stars. I was also the president of AstroPAL, a mentoring group for astronomy grad students, and a lab TA for the intro astronomy classes.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading fantasy books, biking, and baking! I also taught spin classes at the GSU gym.
