Affiliate bio
I have never had proper astronomy/science outreach communications training, so the number one thing that I am looking forward to through my participation in the SciAct Affiliate Program at this AAS meeting is to learn useful new tricks and improve my science outreach communications skills.

Lead Data Scientist
Arizona State University
I am an astrophysicist at Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration. As a member of the research team led by Evgenya Shkolnik, I am the Lead Data Scientist for the SPARCS (Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat) mission and I conduct research on the intrinsic variability of various types of stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram using time-resolved high-precision photometry with space-based observatories such as MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars), BRITE (BRIght Target Explorer), and Kepler.
