Outreach
Astronomy Camp seeks to motivate all students to further their education in science, math, engineering, and technical fields. I was a camper when I was 16 and the experience motivated me to continue pursuing astronomy as a career. Now I am a counselor and hope to be that inspiration for the next generation of scientists and great thinkers!
Space Drafts (or, Astronomy on Tap TUS) is an astronomy focused public lecture series held every month at The Borderlands Brewing Company in Tucson, Arizona. I gave my talk, “Space Brews: Probing the Origins of Complex Molecules with Radio Telescopes” in April of 2022! Watch it at the link below!
I was a speaker for Knowledge Village, an organization that brings experts and professionals into public school classrooms via video chat. I presented a virtual talk about how I got interested in science and what I work on in graduate school to multiple groups of middle school students.
The NOAO Teen Astronomy Cafe is an out-of-school program for high school students that provides them the opportunity to interact with astronomers working on cutting-edge science. Students participate in hands on demonstrations, work on interative computer activities and listen to presentations from the scientists at NOAO and other institutions. The students also have the opportunity to ask the speaker and volunteers questions, learning what a day in the life of an astronomer is all about!
