I am a theoretical physicist researching cosmology and dark matter phenomenology. Currently, I am a Simons Junior Fellow at the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics of New York University.

I received my Ph.D. from the MIT Department of Physics in 2024, where I was advised by Tracy Slatyer. As a graduate student, I was supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and MIT Center for Theoretical Physics. Prior to starting at MIT in 2019, I was an undergraduate and Barry Goldwater Scholar at Johns Hopkins University, where I majored in physics and mathematics. During this time, I also worked on a number of projects while supervised by Marc Kamionkowski, Kimberly Boddy, Nadia Zakamska, David Nataf, and Andrei Gritsan.

I am committed to supporting underrepresented minorities in physics, and have previously served on the MIT Physics Graduate Student Council and Admissions Committee.
