I was born and raised in Queens, New York City.

Growing up, my hobbies included musical theater, photography, and camping in the Catskills!

I earned my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from SUNY Binghamton. 

Stargazing in the Binghamton Nature Preserve is how I first fell in love with space. 

I’ll always look back fondly on my time as a Bearcat!

My passion for space and nature brought me to Boulder, where I completed my PhD in Aerospace Engineering.

 Colorado has been a great place to call home for the past five years, and I’m excited to be staying here after grad school. 

Go Buffs!
