Overview

I was born and raised in Clearwater, Florida. I came to UF for my undergrad in the Fall 2018. I received a Bachelor's of Science summa cum laude in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Computer and Information Science and Engineering from UF in the Spring 2022. For my senior thesis, I studied the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the 2-point correlation function (2PCF) of galaxies. I came back to UF in the Fall of 2022 to pursue my PhD in Astronomy.
