I received my undergraduate degree in physics and astronomy/planetary sciences from Stony Brook University. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on studies of weak gravitational lensing from galaxy clusters along with testing data processing pipelines for LSST. Since graduating I spent almost 2 years working at Columbia University's Nevis Laboratories working to develop hardware upgrades for the liquid argon calorimeter for the ATLAS experiment. During this time I gained interest in high energy experimental physics. I am now involved with the ATLAS group looking for Beyond the Standard Model physics.
