I am a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz in astronomy and astrophysics. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in physics and astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests are in theoretical stellar astrophysics with an emphasis on the formation of massive stars, including how the rotation rates of massive stars are set by their formation and how these rates depend on the environment in which they form. I am currently working with Mark Krumholz and Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz.
