I'm the public outreach coordinator for the Aldrich Astronomical Society, one of the oldest amateur astronomy clubs in the country. I'm a NASA Solar System Ambassador and give talks in my local area about space and NASA missions to all ages. I studied physics and astronomy at Northern Arizona University, as well as planetary geography at Worcester State University. I received a NASA Space Grant in 2020 to write a guide to astrophotography for beginners, with a focus on aiding the TESS mission to find and confirm exoplanets. I've presented my research on Mars geography and other space topics at academic conferences. I have my master’s degree in public history from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, which has given me the knowledge and skills necessary to transform difficult concepts into talks and exhibits for the general public. I've been a science communicator for over 20 years, and I absolutely love talking to people about space to keep the public better informed.

Recently, I’ve started an astronomy ‘zine that I mail to subscribers every month! If you would like to be a part of this action, you can subscribe over on my Patreon! And if you are interested in having me speak at your event or venue, please drop me a line!
