I took a cosmology course at a summer program during high school on “The Origin and Development of the Cosmos.” It really interested me, so when I realized I didn’t want to pursue my original major in college, I fell right into physics and astronomy.
I’m most passionate about the future potential for discovery. Things like James Webb and the Large Hadron Collider can uncover more accurate ways to understand the world around us.
I’m currently studying abroad in Madrid and I’m interning at the Institute of Fundamental Physics here analyzing James Webb images of dust in the star-forming regions of nearby galaxies.
