I am a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany. My research interests broadly include Milky Way structure and dynamics, dwarf galaxies, and asteroseismology.

I received my B.S. in Astrophysics at Yale University in May 2026. At Yale, I worked with Professor Marla Geha to measure the chemical and dynamical properties of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Willman 1. I spent the 2024 summer as an REU student at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa working with Professor Dan Huber, Dr. Yaguang Li, and Dr. Joel Ong to constrain mass loss on the red giant branch using wide binaries and asteroseismology. Last summer, I studied Milky Way dynamics using Gaia DR3 at the MPIA with Professor Hans-Walter Rix and Vedant Chandra. Starting in the Fall 2027, I will begin my Ph.D. in Astronomy at Harvard University.

Outside of research, I enjoy reading, listening to music, discovering places through photography, & biking in bikeable cities. Also dancing & stargazing! My favorite star is the Sun.
