Bio
As a double major in Computer Science and Physics from Tennessee Technological University, I've developed a strong academic foundation with a special focus on Software Development and Experimental Physics. I bring experience as a Student Researcher at Los Alamos National Lab and Tennessee Technological University, where I contributed significantly to the UCNτ Experiment. I've also led a team at NASA for the Micro G NExT Experiment. My skills extend to multiple programming languages and software, with projects demonstrating my ability to apply my knowledge in practical scenarios.
Personally, in my free time I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, camping/backpacking, swimming, running, weight-training, and kayaking to name a few. I get excited about anything outdoors and I'm always ready for an adventure! My other hobbies include (but of course not limited to) astrophotography, electrical/ mechanical design, and reading!
