The three main themes surrounding my outreach involvement are:
- Increasing the retention of under-represented minorities in Physics and STEM.
- Making research accessible to students of all backgrounds.
- Advocating for mental health in academia.
One of my proudest achievements was serving as co-chair of Northwestern’s 2019 APS Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) with Prof. Zosia Krusberg. Learn more: “Northwestern Hosts Regional Conference for Women in Physics”
I have also developed courses on the contributions of women in astrophysics. See Teaching page for more.
Past efforts include creating mentoring programs for graduate students and post-docs at Harvard and the University of Arizona. Please contact me for additional details if you are interested in starting your own mentoring program!
