I am an Assistant Research Professor and former Eberly Research Fellow in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at The Pennsylvania State University. My research focuses on improving the accuracy and precision of fundamental stellar parameters in order to improve our understanding of the planets they host. I am a member of the NEID and KELT science teams, and I contribute to MISHAPS and the TESS Single Transit Planet Candidate team.

I completed my Ph.D in Astronomy from The Ohio State University in 2018, advised by Scott Gaudi, and I received my B.A. in Mathematics and Physics/Astronomy from Northwestern University in 2012.
