My story
Studying the universe is a powerful experience because it challenges our understanding of what we understand to be normal and weird. While scary and fascinating all at once the feeling of finding something new about the universe is energizing for me. Currently I do research with a supportive research group at the American Museum of Natural History where I study objects that could pass within our solar system within 15 million years. This scholarship allows me to complete my studies at Columbia. I’m excited to see where I go next. A fun fact about me is I enjoy fencing!
