Overview

I grew up as a child in the small southwest Texas town of Uvalde until my family moved to College Station, Texas. I would stay there for my bachelor's degree at Texas A&M with a major in physics and minor in astrophysics before coming to UF in 2021.

Education

B.Sc., Physics, Texas A&M University, 2021

Research

I've been working as a part of the JWST ERS program TEMPLATES focused on NIRCam data reduction. I've also been working on gravitational lens modeling for our sources, particularly those identified as part of the SPT-SMG collaboration.
