Hello! I am a physicist and programmer with a passion for mitigating the climate crisis. I received my B.S. in Physics with a focus in Computational Physics, summa cum laude, from West Virginia University in 2021. While at WVU, I was afforded many amazing opportunities to learn from and collaborate with world-class researchers in experimental and computational plasma physics. A few of these projects include: measurement of the quantum hyperfine structure of singly-ionized atomic iodine using a novel approach to the spectroscopic technique of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), resulting in my first peer-reviewed, first-author paper; leading a small team of peers in measuring space weather with Langmuir probes mounted on a CubeSat and without consistent GPS data; and completing a DoE SULI internship with the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where I worked with a PhD student to develop a machine learning model to diagnose plasma temperatures and densities in real time within a lower region of the NSTX-U fusion reactor.I have additionally represented my peers as president of my high school student council, an officer in the WVU chapter of the Society of Physics Students, and later president of the same. These leadership experiences, and many more, have taught me valuable lessons about organizing people and creating a sense of community. Such skills are also necessary for fighting climate change, as such an extensive challenge requires decisive planning and perseverance.In 2021, I joined the WVU plasma physics PhD program, where I continued working on space weather measurements, and joined another project measuring ion interaction with the electron-only magnetic reconnection phenomena observed in the PHAse Space MApping experiment by furthering development of an LIF technique to determine ion temperature over time.I left WVU at the end of 2022, having come to the realization that my true ambition lies in fighting climate change. I wish to take the skills and expertise I have gained and apply them to the biggest challenge of our time, a path which I expect will take me many different places. My current plan is to relocate to the Seattle area within the next two years, where I may pursue a MS or PhD in climate science, or continue working on implementing climate solutions directly.
