Greetings!

I am in my 3rd year of graduate study in the astronomy department here at NMSU. I work with Dr. Tom Harrison studying stellar variability of low-mass stars with an emphasis on star spots and differential rotation.

About Me

I was born into a Navy family and thus have lived in several different places including: California, Washington, Hawaii, and now New Mexico. I received my B.S. in astronomy and physics at the University of Washington in the Spring of 2009. I was very active with the astronomy department there and helped with many outreach programs at the Theodor Jacobsen Observatory.

Now a full time graduate student at NMSU I fill my time with research, teaching, and enjoying the wonderful outdoor activities available in New Mexico. My research presently involves writing and implementing a statistical analysis of lightcurves from the Kepler mission. As for the outdoors, there is plenty of space for biking and the nearby Organ mountain range makes for great hiking. I have also begun training for triatholons and recently completed the ''Dam it Man'' sprint triatholon at Elephant Butte.
