About Me

I am a postdoc associate in the Astronomy Department at UMD College Park and NASA GSFC. Most of my work time is dedicated to Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey Project Infrastructure Team (RGES PIT), which will support the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) leading up to the launch of Roman and through the commissioning and science operations phases. I also have extensive experience working on instrumentation related to the Keck telescopes, and I've worked in collaboration with the UCLA Galactic Center Group and NASA GSFC Microlensing Research Group. To learn more about my work, please see the research page.

I grew up in Virginia just outside of Washington, DC and have been heavily influenced by DMV culture. I also lived in Berkeley California for three years during my first postdoc position. Both northern California and DC hold special places in my heart.
