astronomy, not astrology...

...but i am a pisces, if you're wondering.

in this section, i talk about my past, present, and future research. take a look at my cv if you want the full picture, but i'll do my best to summarize in the following few sentences.

i graduated from cu boulder with a b.a. in astrophysics in 2022. for a year after that, i worked for americorps as a high school math instructor in denver for the 2022-23 school year. i was also a virtual intern supporting dei initiatives at nasa headquarters. i performed data analysis of nasa-supported postdoctoral fellowships and developed a code that determines a researcher's astronomical expertise based on language used in their published papers on nasa ads.

now, i'm a first-year grad student at boston university. this summer, i will be working on jwst miri data of pre- and transitional protoplanetary disks, measuring their neon line ratios to constrain the disk photoevaporation lifetime.
