TESS Objects of Interest Manager
MIT-TESS Communications Lead

 I currently work at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research on the NASA TESS mission. I manage the team that identifies potential exoplanets among the thousands of stars in the TESS images.
​I studied physics and creative writing at MIT and graduated in 2014.
​
In addition to planet-hunting, I write pieces for theater and radio and make multi-media art inspired by my experiences in astronomy and particle physics. I am always searching for new ways to pursue my artistic and scientific interests in parallel. 

Artistic projects

Ongoing:

• (on hiatus) Voice Box, weekly radio show on 88.1 WMBR
