exoplanetary astronomy,
space policy,
​and aerospace ​

about me.

I am a planetary astronomer studying the atmospheres of exoplanets, and currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.

I volunteer with the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC), a global network of students and early-career professionals in the space sector. I currently serve as SGAC's United States National Point of Contact and Coordinator of the Space Generation Advocacy and Policy Platform (SGAPP). I am also a member of the American Astronomical Society’s Committee for the Protection of Astronomy and the Space Environment (COMPASSE).

My passions include science, policy, space missions, reading, exploring, and art.
