I’m a graduate student currently studying resolved stellar populations in isolated dwarf galaxies (in other words: multiple stars which we can individually resolve, in small galaxies that are far away from massive galaxies). My research probes questions of galaxy formation and evolution, and in particular the effect of environment on the processes that have shaped galaxies in the present day. I’m excited to be working with some of the first JWST NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy of resolved stars to help pave the way for future studies! When I’m not doing research, I enjoy reading, hiking, and playing board games with friends.
