Biography

I received my Ph.D. in Planetary Science from UC Santa Cruz in November 2022, having studied lunar paleomagnetism. In particular, I studied lunar swirls and the geologic clues nearby them that can help determine the source and age of the high magnetic fields found at swirls. Prior to this, I received my B.S. in Physics from UC Santa Barbara in 2016.

I joined the SETI Institute in December 2023 to work with the Ring-Moon Systems (RMS) Node of the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS), where I help manage data from NASA's planetary missions to the outer solar system.
