About
I am a Tulane University alumna with a B.S. in Engineering Physics, a Certificate in Computational Engineering, and a minor in French. Since August 2024, I have been pursuing an M.S. in Physics at Tufts University with a concentration in Astrophysics. My work sits at the intersection of theory, computation, and observation—building tools that convert complex light curves into physical insight.
Outside of research, I’m classically trained in the visual arts and often paint as a counterbalance to technical work. I also study languages to broaden communication and perspective across disciplines.
