I graduated from the University of Washington in March 2012 with a BS in Physics/Astronomy and began working at the Space Telescope Science Institute in August 2012.

I am a member of the Wide Field Camera 3 calibration team where I monitor the WFC3/UVIS gain, characterize pixel-to-pixel flat field changes in WFC3/UVIS pixel populations, create test-driven software for WFC3 in house monitoring, deliver all reference files used in the calibration pipeline, and monitor post-flash value variations.

I am currently working on a M101 science project with Dr. William Blair (JHU) and Dr. Knox Long (STScI).

My past research experience has been: Photometry of open clusters; searching for planetary nebulae and low resolution spectroscopy of M-dwarf wide binaries (Gunning et. al 2014 - in prep). I am always looking for new projects - especially something different from what I've already done.

My language of choice is Python, but am fluent in IDL. All my projects are version controlled with git, either through GitHub or STScI's internal gitlab.
