Public Outreach
I was a guest on The Astro Show, a live streamed astronomy outreach program by Wyoming Stargazing. A recording of the episode I'm on can be found here!
Equity/Inclusion Work
I was a co-organizer and panelist for the special session on Neurodiversity in Astronomy at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, WA. As a panelist, I spoke primarily about how to make classrooms and teaching practices more accommodating to neurodivergent students and how those changes can positively impact the class as a whole. The special session was mentioned in an article about accessibility for physicists with disabilities in Physics Today.
I have also done a lot of work at my home institution to improve conditions for graduate students, including being the chair of our Graduate Student Advisory/Advocacy Committee. During my time as chair, we collaborated with GSACs across the College of Science to gather data from over 200 graduate students about our health insurance, and used it to push for changes to policy at the University level. Although not all of these changes were made, we were successful in pushing for changes that helped reduce out of pocket maximums and improve coverage for prescription medications.
