I am a master's student in Astrophysics at Tufts University and a 2017 graduate of Colgate University with a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy/Physics. Before going back to school in the Fall of 2019 I spent time working in healthcare analytics and tutoring students in Math and Physics in the Greater New York City area. I am passionate about Astronomy and truly believe that learning about the wonders of the World and Universe around us truly enriches our quality of life and education. I love seeing the "lightbulb moment" when working with students where they are able to connect the dots and overcome a particular challenge that we have been working on together and always strive to improve student outcomes whether that be mastering a new subject or polishing up their problem solving abilities, there is no greater feeling than being able to help someone learn and encourage a lifelong love of learning. When I am not tutoring or at school I can be found going on a run through Cambridge, supporting all of my (mostly terrible) New York sports teams and most recently improving my cooking and baking skills.

My hobbies include: Running, Skiing, Scuba Diving, Sailing, Windsurfing and Kayaking. As mentioned in my personal statement I am a huge New York sports fan (Yankees, Giants, Rangers and Knicks) and also do enjoy waking up early on weekend mornings to catch Premier League and Bundesliga Soccer matches.
