Greetings! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I work on the detection and study of (ultra-) high energy neutrinos with the Askaryan Radio Array, IceCube, and Radio Neutrino Observatory-Greenland experiments.

Prior to joining the faculty at UMD, I was an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University.

I completed my PhD in Physics under the direction of Prof. Amy Connolly at The Ohio State University in 2019 with the support of an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My thesis focused on a search for a diffuse flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos with ARA.

Prior to arriving at OSU, I earned my undergraduate degree at Washington University in St. Louis, where I graduated with honors in 2014, majoring in physics, and minoring in math and economics. At WUSTL, I worked with Prof. Henric Krawczynski’s group on the hard x-ray polarimeter X-Calibur.

I am originally from Bridgeton, MO, a small town in North St. Louis county. I attended Pattonville High School (Go Pirates!), and they have written a few kind articles about my AAPF, GRFP, and research in Antarctica.
