Position details
Final presentation
I am a sophomore, and a first-generation student, at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. I am majoring in physics and mathematics and minoring in leadership, Spanish, and computer science. In the fall, I will be studying abroad at the University of Geneva and conducting research on probing the viscosity of conduction electrons in metals, and specifically on superconducting materials, in Geneva, Switzerland. Previously, I have held internships at Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Most of my free time is spent participating in service-based organizations. I am the Community Outreach/Volunteering Chair for DU’s Society of Physics Students chapter, the VP of Community Service for DU’s National Society of Collegiate Scholars chapter, and I volunteer regularly at a transitional housing facility that provides support services and skill development for homeless families. I also recently traveled to India and Nepal for a humanitarian trip that involved everything from establishing a women’s business cooperative to working at orphanages to implementing science curriculums in impoverished schools.
