I've been involved in science my whole life, but I began my physics journey after an inspirational undergraduate summer internship at the University of Chicago. It changed my career path and inspired me to pursue a career in Physics. I then completed an additional summer internship at Stanford University and was accepted to the University of California Santa Barbara, a top 10 physics program, for my PhD. I began work with Professor Joseph Incandela on both the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) collaborations. While at UCSB I have received numerous awards, including the Joseph Polchinski Fellowship, a UCSB Physics Worster Fellowship, and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. These stem from my numerous contributions to both collaborations and my dedication to completing high-quality, rigorous, and interesting science. I am proud of my research at UCSB in Machine Learning, Anomaly Detection, and Neural Network development, as well as the leadership skills I have been able to develop working with talented undergraduate students in tackling complicated problems. I look forward to future challenges, and future successes, knowing I have developed the skills needed to excel in any environment.
