About

I am originally from Houston, Texas, where I went to Rice University for undergrad. I moved to Los Angeles to complete graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles. During this time I worked with the NuSTAR team and became a member of Caltech's High Energy Astrophysics Group.  After my PhD I moved to Huntsville, Alabama to work with the IXPE team at the Marshall Space Flight Center.

 

I love all of the natural sciences, and have an unusual hobby of making comics and writing stories about anthropomorphized natural phenomena, such as storms, plate boundaries, and celestial objects. I am also passionate about animals, including/especially those not cared about much like fish and invertebrates.
