I am a sixth-year graduate student in astronomy at New Mexico State University, specializing in machine learning, asteroseismology, stellar evolution, and galactic archaeology.

My research focuses on leveraging machine learning techniques to analyze large astronomical datasets, such as spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (MWM program), asteroseismology data from the Kepler and TESS missions, and astrometry from Gaia. I am particularly interested in determining stellar ages from chemical abundances, calibrated with asteroseismology, and applying this to SDSS and Gaia data to explore the history of our galaxy.

I am passionate about sharing knowledge both inside and outside the classroom. I enjoy astronomy and general science outreach and have been exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) and other tools to create new outreach possibilities. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or are interested in collaborating on VR outreach projects.

In my free time, I love learning new skills, such as operating amateur radio, building projects in my garage, playing music, 3D modeling, and picking up new languages. I have a particular passion for flying and hope to complete my private pilot's license this year.
