Overview
I I hail from the easy-going New Orleans, Louisiana and the busy streets of Houston, Texas. I received my Bachelor’s in Physics from the University of Houston in May 2018 and my Master's in Astronomy from the University of Florida in May 2022. My thesis work centers on investigating the physics of massive star formation in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone under my advisor, Dr. Adam Ginsburg.
