Pronouns: she/her

Level of degree currently pursuing: B.S.

Home: Austin, TX

Education: Pursuing a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Spanish and Space

Research Interests: EVA, spacesuit design, astronaut training, astronaut cognitive functions, space medicine, orbital mechanics

Additional info: Three years ago, I came to CU pursing both educational and personal dreams by studying aerospace engineering in class then escaping to the mountains in my free time. What I didn't realize as a freshman is that I can do both at once, since outer space can be thought of as an extension of the wilderness environment on Earth. Bioastronautics unites my both of my core interests and I can't wait to learn more about how the space environment affects human life. When I'm not buried in my course work, you can find me hiking, backpacking, running, snowboarding, drawing, cooking, and exploring everything the mountains have to offer.

Fav. Hobby: Backpacking
