General
I am an American astrophysicist running around Europe. I received my PhD in astrophysics from the Institute of Astronomy at KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) in May 2020. After leaving Belgium in May 2021, I’ve been fortunate enough to live in the Netherlands and Germany, and now I’ll soon be moving to the UK to work as a Royal Society Newton International Fellow at the University of Surrey.
Academia
I was born in New York, USA to an eclectic family of cooks and went on to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Villanova University in 2014, before moving to Leuven, Belgium for my MSc and PhD in Astrophysics (2015-2020).

Other
Outside of work, I like to cycle, run, hike, and I have very strong opinions about where you can find the best pizza (New York), the best beer (Belgium), and the best frietjes (also Belgium).
