I taught Physics and Astronomy my first year, but shifted to full time Astronomy in my second year after doubling the size of the program and creating a second-level astronomy course. In addition to teaching regular classes, I organized and managed the girls tennis team, co-coached the Ballroom team, and helped develop the E-Sports Program.

Computational Modeling using PhoDyMM and DEMCMC. Senior Thesis “Modeling the Mutual Inclinations of Exoplanets”- Modeled exoplanet systems computationally using Differential Evolution Markov Chain Monte Carlo and our open-resource, PhoDyMM (the PhotoDynamical Multi-Planet Model). - Programmed with python and bash to create, modify, and debug necessary code.- Tested the constraints and accuracies of PhoDyMM when used to analyze transit duration and timing variations using synthesized systems with known solutions.- Assisted other researchers in determining mutual inclinations for systems currently being examined and communicated findings.
