After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Astrophysics, I began my journey as a Physics PhD student at Rutgers University in 2023. My research focuses on studying the gas and dust between stars in different galaxies to uncover how the universe is evolving through time. To achieve this, I use supercomputer simulations of galaxies and data from cutting-edge observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope. The REAL School played a pivotal role in shaping my path by fostering my passion for science and math. The supportive and encouraging teachers nurtured my curiosity, equipping me with the skills and confidence to pursue a career as an astrophysicist.
