Prior to the launch of JWST, my primary focus was optical and infrared observations of obscured active galactic nuclei, or AGNs. I helped identify new obscured sources using the Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, telescope. I also helped uncover the physical extent of the narrow-line regions for local obscured quasars.

Since moving to the University of Arizona, I worked to support JWST NIRCam. My research focuses on exploring sources in the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES. I have helped identify some of the farthest galaxies humans have ever seen, stretching back to a redshift of 14. I’ve also explored how JWST NIRCam can find low-temperature brown dwarfs in our galaxy.

I have a passion for science outreach education, and I’ve worked with many local and national schools and outreach groups. I’m an active member of Skype A Scientist, where you can have me virtually speak with your students about astronomy and the Universe!
