I’m a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, CA. I’m working to understand the chemical composition of UV bright galaxies and understanding the connections of stars and the gas that surrounds them. I was recently a postdoc at Texas A&M University working with the JWST TEMPLATES team on lensed galaxies trying to understand star formation from low to high redshifts (1 < z < 4).

I did my Ph.D. at The Ohio State University with Laura Lopez as my advisor.  While I was there I studied the evolution of feedback in HII regions, from ultracompact HII regions to the largest regions in the Magellanic Clouds, and with Danielle Berg on extreme UV emitting galaxies.  I did my undergraduate degrees at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.  I did a dual degree and received a B.S. in both Astronomy and Physics as well as obtaining a minor in Classics.

I originally hail from Okemos, MI, where I was in the high school choir, on the Science Olympiad team, and worked in the local library.

My main research interests at the moment include: star formation, the feedback related to these star forming processes, massive stars, ionized gas properties, and local analogues of the first galaxies.
