I am currently a NASA Sagan Fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. My research combines observations and models of stellar flares across the electromagnetic spectrum to identify their emission mechanisms in order to determine if Earthlike exoplanets around small stars are observable and habitable given the activity of their host stars. I am also the stellar activity working group lead for the Early eVolution Explorer (EVE; PI: MacGregor), a multiwavelength successor to TESS to be submitted by JPL in response to the 2025 NASA astrophysics Small Explorer call.

I earned my PhD in Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in May 2021, advised by Prof. Nicholas Law. During this time, I led wide-field time domain flare surveys using data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the Evryscope array of small telescopes.

I worked as a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Meredith MacGregor at CU Boulder 2021-2023, where I led efforts to characterize the impacts of flares on the TESS Object of Interest catalog and multiwavelength properties of flares from X-ray to millimeter wavelengths with Chandra, Swift, TESS, and ALMA. For this program, I received 100 hours to search for millimeter-wave flares using the NSF Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) while TESS is observing the same fields.
