I am currently a Sagan Fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. I observe stellar flares from low mass stars with a suite of space and ground based facilities to explore their underlying emission mechanisms and discover whether they allow life to exist on orbiting planets.

I earned my PhD in Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in May 2021, advised by Prof. Nicholas Law. During this time, I led wide-field time domain flare surveys using data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the Evryscope array of small telescopes.

Since joining the MacGregor group in the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (CASA) at CU Boulder Fall 2021, I have developed a multi-wavelength research program. In the past year, I have written successful proposals for NASA Chandra and Swift time to observe coronal flare emission in the soft X-ray, alongside emission at other wavelengths. I also received 60 hours to search for millimeter-wave flares using the NSF Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) while TESS is observing the same fields.
