Currently, I am doing research under Dr. Steve Feller and will be a visiting researcher at Georgia Tech for the summer of 2023, studying high-density borate glasses. I have also begun doing Numismatics research under Dr. Steve Feller and Dr. Ray Feller, as well. I also serve as the President of Coe College’s SPS Chapter, and the Outreach Chair for Math and Computer Science Club. I have been a member of my SPS chapter since freshman year and served as secretary my sophomore year. I love organizing events for students and the community, inspiring people to pursue physics or astronomy.
