I am currently a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I was a Cota-Robles Graduate Fellow for my first two years here. Before coming to Santa Cruz, I attended Ohlone Community College in Fremont, CA and then transferred to UC Berkeley to complete my B.A. in Physics.
