Overview
I was born and raised in South Florida. I am passionate about first-generation/low-income (FGLI) college student success, and I co-direct a project called the Alliance for the Low-Income & First-Generation Narrative (AL1GN), which consists of annual conferences and a STEM cohort. I was a data scientist for three years before starting graduate school. In my spare time, I love watching and playing soccer and making music with my fellow UF Astro grad students as a band called Stars & Planets Journal Club (SPJC).

Research
My current primary research interest lies in the dynamical histories and fates of exoplanets. Specifically, I use Kepler data to study how the architectures of planetary systems evolve. I am also exploring ways to model stellar activity and noise - both for better constraints on phenomena with astrobiological implications and for better prioritization of planets for radial velocity follow-up observations.
Areas of Study
- Exoplanet Demographics
- Planetary System Dynamics
- Stellar Activity & Noise Modeling
