I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina. I am a member of the Majorana collaboration, searching for neutrinoless double beta-decay in the Ge76 isotope.

I completed my M.S. in physics from the University of North Carolina in 2009. My project was Characterization and Background Reduction in the KURF Low-background Counting Facility.

I completed my undergraduate studies in May 2007 at the State University of New York College at Geneseo with a B.A. in Physics. When I am not doing physics, I enjoy bicycling, watching sports, and spending time with family and friends.
