I am an Ernest Kempton Adams Postdoctoral Fellow in the ATLAS group at Columbia University. I received my PhD in experimental particle physics from the University of Pennsylvania and my B.A. from Vassar College. My doctoral research focused on searches for beyond-the-Standard-Model physics with the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. I joined Columbia in May 2025, where my current work includes both detector hardware upgrades for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider and ongoing new physics searches with ATLAS.

Beyond the lab, I am a strong advocate of science outreach and education. CUPS is an amazing organization that can foster work towards these goals with other researchers and to reach a broader community. I joined the CUPS executive team in 2025 to contribute as much as I can to this rich Columbia postdoc community. I am excited to see what this team will achieve together.
