My story
I have always had a fascination with the universe and how it came to be. It’s pretty wild to think about. I am currently researching under Dr. Bovill (TCU, Astrophysics) to understand star formation within the earliest fossils of the first galaxies. In our research, we look for the mass cutoff required for a galaxy to accrete gas reionization and look at the star formations. In my free time, I enjoy reading novels and watching every possible Marvel series/movie. By receiving this scholarship, I have a huge relief off my shoulders and can focus and pursue my bachelor’s degree stress-free.
