I grew up in southern California and moved to Austin for undergrad in 2016. I have a B.S. and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and am working towards my Ph.D here at the Center for Space Research. My research is focused on the role of high-low satellite-to-satellite tracking observations for gravity field estimation, specifically using GRACE-FO data. After finishing my degree, I hope to continue in the field of precise orbit determination and satellite geodesy.
