About

I'm an Astronomy & Astrophysics undergraduate at the Florida Institute of Technology, pursuing a second major in Planetary Science and a minor in Sustainability. My work centers on applying deep learning and quantitative data analysis to astronomical problems, building on coursework in observational astronomy, instrumentation, and machine learning, extended by a study-abroad program at the University of Oxford in scientific and technical communication.

Alongside my studies, I serve as Chief Technology Officer of AspireCURES and Vice President of Database Management at the Sisters Hope Foundation, where I build and maintain the web platforms and patient databases that connect families affected by rare neurological diseases with clinical trials and research. This site collects my projects, resume, and contact information. Please feel free to reach out.
