more about me...
when i was little i wanted to be...
A scientist! I’ve been interested in science since I was 2. I’d pick up a rock and wonder where it came from or turn on the sink and see how long it takes to overflow… just all these little experiments.
my proudest career moment was...
Winning the Annie Jump Cannon prize from the American Astronomical Society Atronomy (AAS). The cool thing about this award is that it’s named in honor of a groundbreaking early 20th century female astronomer. While Annie was working as an astronomer at Harvard, she invented the first system that classifies stars, known as the Harvard Classification Scheme. I literally use her systems everyday! So, winning an award in her honor was really amazing.
the world needs more..
People who love science! It would be helpful if more people understood why science matters and why people choose to
study it.
