I received my B.S. in Physics in 2016 from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and my M.S. in Physics in 2019 from Drexel University.

Currently, I am a physics Ph.D. candidate at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I design simulations to study the birth of stars. Specifically, I utilze the Dutch national supercomputer Cartesius and the software suite Torch to determine the effects of stellar radiation, winds, and supernovae on subsequent star formation. My current project is to use snapshots of giant molecular clouds from galactic simulations as initial conditions to study direct N-body star formation in a magentohydrodynamical medium.
