I am a graduate of the Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences program at CU Boulder, class of 2023. I have since been hired to work at the Southwest Research Institute to work on a project for the New Horizons mission, analyzing small impact craters on small bodies. I recently presented the progress of this project in Taiwan at the TNO2024 conference. I also help with telescopic instrumentation for LUCY mission occultations, as well as further crater analysis on the Moon, and Mars. I will be helping with these contributions to understanding solar system formation until I begin graduate school for planetary science and/or astrophysics. l adore this work, having very strong enthusiasm for a wide variety of fields including planetary dynamics, Solar System formation and exploration, geophysics, galactic formation, and many others!My undergraduate work experience consists of 4 years in atmospheric research at NOAA, both as an empirical researcher and data analyst. This work has taken me all over the world, most recently to Palau where I spent 3 weeks building a custom radio antenna. I loved this kind of work because it allowed me to learn how to handle international relations and build scientific instruments in a mindful way for the land we build on and the people who live near it!Additionally, I have worked for NASA to build a custom antenna system required for two launches out of Wallops Island, VI. My team of three got to monitor our instrument from range control during these launches as well. I have also volunteered with the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder before my employment to help with the LUCY Occultation with over 200 other scientists, by successfully collecting transiting data for a satellite around a remote Trojan Asteroid!
