About Me
I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I received my BSc in Astrophysics from the University of Calgary, and I pursued graduate school at the University of Alberta, obtaining my MSc in 2014 and my PhD in 2018. Following my PhD studies, I worked in the Maunakea Observatories in Hawaii at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, and held a NASA Einstein Fellowship at Texas Tech University. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Lethbridge.

Research Interests
My research program focuses on using stellar-mass black holes in our Galaxy as unique laboratories to understand the complex relationship between the mass plunging into black holes and the material that is jettisoned away (aka jets).
The main goals of my research are to develop new ways to study these jets, both in terms of designing observing techniques to gather new types of data, as well as building new computational and statistical tools to analyze these data.
While my research is multi-wavelength in nature, I often focus on data taken in the radio/sub-mm portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
