Research goals, career trajectory, and the long version of “going where no human has gone before.”
Finish, Publish, Apply
Finishing my Physics and Mathematics degree at UC San Diego, publishing my current research on Kerr black holes and dark matter density spikes, and applying to PhD programs in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology.
Deepen the Work
Pursuing a doctorate at the intersection of general relativity and dark matter physics — extending what I started with Prof. Fuller and the Dynes Research Scholarship, and contributing to multi-messenger astrophysics as gravitational-wave detectors get sharper.
A Career Asking Unanswered Questions
A research career — academia or a national lab — where I get to keep working on problems that don't have answers yet. Building open tools for the physics community along the way, and staying involved in getting more women into physics rooms, not just through them.
