I am a Nth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics & Astronomy here at the University of Toledo. Currently, I am a research assistant (RA) for the Ritter Observatory PREST program. As part of the PREST program, I helped to create and maintain the Ritter Observatory Public Archive of spectroscopic data from Ritter Observatory. New spectra are continually being added. The program also provides access to the 1-meter Ritter telescope for observing requests as well as training opportunities for students. Last fall I taught the evening section of PHYS 2070. I have also taught several lab and recitation sections for various physics and astronomy courses. I have also been a research assistant (RA) for Ritter Observatory in which I helped to reduce nightly observations. I am also a member of the Ritter Observing Team. Please see my Research & Teaching page for more information on my past and current activities.
