CV

Professional Accomplishments

Through boundless curiosity and passion, I have pursued by dreams!

I love to volunteer and worked with a few organizations starting in 2019. One volunteer opportunity led me to another until I found the NASA Solar System Ambassador Program at the end of 2019. I was accepted and began in 2020. It is focused on public outreach and education and I started with virtual events for the Maricopa Public Library before switching to in-person events in 2021. I have now completed over 50 outreach events and cannot wait to do more! Along the way I picked up many astronomy hobbies! My current favorite is processing images from the Hubble Space Telescope and using them for educational outreach. I am also learning Python to further my image processing skills and prepare me for my future career!

I have a bachelors in biology and also worked in the microbiology labs at ASU for three years. I graduated in 2015 and got a job not long after working in the blood banking industry. I then transferred to the clinical lab industry and work in a cellular therapy lab. I am currently working on a certifications for Adobe Graphics and have begun taking classes to pursue a degree in Data Science at ASU. I am looking forward to see where all of these awesome classes and the knowledge that I am learning take me!
