About Me
I am a particle physicist, educator, and government affairs specialist with a passion for making science meaningful to individuals and communities. I am currently serving as a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the National Science Foundation’s Office of Legislative and Public Affairs. Previously, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. I completed my Ph.D. in Physics at Tufts University, where I engaged in particle physics research for the ATLAS collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
