I enjoyed looking up at the night sky as a child and thinking about all the amazing things happening beyond our planet. My interest would pique in my science classes whenever stars were the subject of discussion. I thought that picking an astrophysics major would only be natural. I can’t imagine picking anything else for a college major.

My interest started with stars and their existence but has since evolved into a deeper question about how they came to be, about how any of the cosmic structures we have came to be. This is what drives me through college.

I’m considering getting a postgraduate degree and continuing with internships to develop my research skills.
