Astronomy and Physics, Vassar College
The relief of financial burden allows for so much more space and mental capacity, so I'm able to focus purely on the things I'm passionate about.

Astronomy has always captivated me, and physics was the first science that made me work to understand it.
I’m an artist as well as an astrophysicist, so I’m very passionate about exploring the intersection of science and the arts.
After I finish my degree, I’m excited to continue merging my passions during a gap year — I aspire to work as a post-baccalaureate researcher, or just generally in a science-related field.
I’m writing (with the help of many) two papers to be published!
[The scholarship] enables me to envision my dreams just a little bit clearer.
TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Recipient in 2024 and 2025.
