I'm a fifth year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota. I work with Tom Jones using the WOMBAT MHD simulation suite to study AGN jet - ICM environment interactions. I'm also involved in the development of WisdomWombat, the next generation of the code, and WiserWombat, the first ML integration into the code. I held a joint GRA position at LANL working on jet studies as part of my dissertation research in 2024-2025. I'm heavily involved in public outreach and became an astrobites author in 2024.

I'm originally from CT and attended Wellesley College for my bachelor's in astrophysics with a minor in computer science. There, I had a number of research positions ranging from stellar variability and supernova (MIT) to exoplanets (Wellesley) to quasars (Middlebury) to particle accelerators (LBNL). I was also part of the Shakespeare Society and worked as a book conservation assistant in the library.
