I am currently a post-bach researcher in Dr. Natalia Drichko’s experimental

condensed matter physics lab at Johns Hopkins University. I graduated with a

Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from the Peabody Institute and a Minor in Physics

from the Kriger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. I have

three years of experience in experimental physics research and over 16 years of

professional dance training.

As a scientist, I am drawn to the search for emergent behaviors in quantum

materials by developing new techniques that push the limits of physics. Using

my experience in optical spectroscopy and high-pressure experiments, I look

forward to exploring similar avenues of solid state physics.

As an artist, I am interested in exploring the connection between dance and

physics and how they can draw from each other to deepen understanding. I

believe bridging the gap between the arts and sciences can unite communities

and lead to innovative ideas.
