Investigating the Mysteries of Our Universe
Teaching the Next Generation of Scientists

I aspire to combine these two disciplines — novel research and science education — through outreach that spreads scientific literacy, appreciation, and interest. By connecting classroom learning with practical scientific applications, I aim to inspire the next generation of scientists and foster a deeper understanding of science in communities, particularly among underrepresented groups.

Research Interests

My undergraduate and post-baccalaureate research has focused on inferring the physical properties of brown dwarfs—faint, substellar objects that are key to understanding the formation and characteristics of giant planets and low-mass stars, as well as the mass distribution in the universe. Currently, I am investigating the evolution of post-AGB (PAGB) stars within stellar populations of globular clusters and exploring their potential as standard candles for precisely measuring cosmic distances.

Science Education

As a science educator, I am passionate about STEM education and promoting the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. Currently, I serve as an academic coach for K-12 students, where I work to inspire and support young learners in developing strong foundations in science and mathematics, while fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Making

“Making is fundamental to what it means to be human. We must make, create, and express ourselves to feel whole. There is something unique about making physical things. Things we make are like little pieces of us and seem to embody portions of our soul.” - Mark Hatch, Maker Movement Manifesto
I’m passionate about making and believe in the power of maker education to empower students, support creativity, and devolop problem-solving skills.
