The search for a fundamental understanding of the universe resulted in my pursuit of degrees in physics and astronomy. I hope to further comprehend the largest and smallest scales of our universe from the Big Bang to particle physics.

I hope to attend a graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. in physics with the eventual goal of having a career focusing on particle physics in academia or at a national lab. I also hope to become a public outreach figure locally and online.

I am currently working at CERN with the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment to search for a hypothetical particle known as the Vector-Like Lepton.

This award truly changed my academic trajectory as it allows me to dedicate more energy to my schoolwork and research rather than being distracted by financial and logistic worries. It is also very impactful to just be supported in the field.
