Bringing Space Science Down to Earth
I'm the Communications Specialist for the American Astronomical Society, where I serve as the Editor of AAS Nova , an award-winning research news site, and Deputy Press Officer. I defended my dissertation on the upper atmospheres and ionospheres of Venus and Mars at Boston University in September 2021. I was the first ever American Astronomical Society Media Fellow and a 2019 AAAS Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellow at Voice of America in Washington, D.C.
