She has previously studied the inner arms of the Milky Way, the relationship between how fast stars are forming and annoying dust particles, and (her favorite galaxy) the Whirlpool Galaxy. For her dissertation work, she researched the atmospheres of galaxies to further our understanding of how galaxies evolve over time. She loves serving the public through outreach and has had so much fun traveling the state to work with students. In her free time she enjoys crafting, playing volleyball, hiking, and baking for her friends. ———————————————— Upcoming Astronomy on Tap Events are on the third Tuesday of the month!
