I am an observational extragalactic astronomer interested in understanding how galaxies evolve by studying their structure, morphology, and chemical composition across cosmic time. I received my PhD in 2022 from Tufts University under the supervision of Prof. Danilo Marchesini and Dr. Boris Haeussler. I am currently a postdoc at Caltech/IPAC, where I will work on Roman and Euclid slitless spectroscopy with Yun Wang. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University/STScI working with Dr. Marc Rafelski.

I use a combination of ground- and space-based spectroscopic and photometric data to tackle a variety of open questions. Some of my more recent projects include constraining how the main components of galaxies - namely, the bulge and the disk - have grown in mass and size, as well as determining the effects of dust on galaxy sizes using cosmological simulations. I am especially excited about an ongoing project to measure the mass-metallicity relation of PASSAGE galaxies. PASSAGE is a cycle 1 pure-parallel JWST program that will enable us to learn exquisite details about hundreds of galaxies at cosmic noon (z~2-3).
