Double major in Physics and Astronomical & Planetary Science at Arizona State University. Six years of amateur astronomy, astrophotography, outreach, and observing programs, from Bortle 8 Atlanta suburbs to the Arizona desert. Currently seeking undergraduate research opportunities.
I'm a double-major in Physics and Astronomical & Planetary Science at Arizona State University, with a BS in Information Technology already under my belt.
I've been doing amateur astronomy and astrophotography for six years, imaging deep sky objects, nebulae, and galaxies alongside solar system targets from the light-polluted suburbs of Atlanta. Along the way I've given presentations, participated in public outreach events, and worked through multiple Astronomical League observing programs.
In April 2026 I'm relocating to Buckeye, Arizona to be closer to ASU and actively pursue undergraduate research opportunities. I also build things: websites, tools, and eventually, I hope, real contributions to planetary science.
For six years I imaged from Bortle 8 suburbs of Atlanta, shooting deep sky objects, nebulae, galaxies, and solar system targets under heavy light pollution. In 2025 I completed the Hubble Night Sky Challenge, which pushed me to become a better processor and a more patient imager.
I believe science communication is the best part of doing science. These are the talks I've given so far.
Any excuse to put a telescope in front of someone who hasn't seen Saturn's rings yet.
Member of the Charlie Elliott Chapter. Star parties, public outreach events, and years of observing with fellow amateur astronomers across the Atlanta metro.
Member of STELA, an online astronomy community for women in astronomy. A space for mentorship, collaboration, and making the field more welcoming.
Relocating to Arizona in April 2026 to be closer to ASU. Planning to join the Astronomy Association of Arizona and engage with the ASU SESE and astronomy communities.
I come to astronomy with a decade of software development alongside my observing. That means I can build the tools I need and explain the code behind the science.
My Astronomical League observation logs, imaging notes, and program progress toward Master Observer all live at my dedicated journal site.
