About Me
I am a 4th year undergraduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology double majoring in physics and astrophysics.
Outside of physics my interests include music, dance, and social activism. I play the cello in a scientist string quartet and am very involved in my school's dance team. I am also a part of student government, social justice ambassadors, and Prism, the LGBTQ+ student organization.
