Through my passion for science and education, I strive to improve science literacy in our society. Currently, I am an ORISE postdoctoral fellow at the Transportation Security Laboratory, an astronomy adjunct professor at Rowan University, and a private tutor to high school students. Some of my awards and honors include graduate awards at Temple University: the Award for Outstanding Teaching and the Scholarship for Outstanding Physics Graduate Students. I am an active member of the Association of Women in Science, and I have volunteered for events such as the Philadelphia Area Girls Enjoying Science (PAGES) Mini-Conference and the Science Leadership Academy Science Fair.

My research interests include topics in astrophysics (cosmology, dark matter, exoplanets, etc.), medical physics (X-ray CT), security physics (bulk explosives detection), and STEM education (literacy and women/minorities).
