As a PI, I have been awarded time on The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA), the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), Submillimeter Arrary (SMA), and Palomar Observatory and participated in the observing for these programs. 

I code mostly in Python and have familiarity with Unix CLI/Bash and Git. I have familiarity with the following astronomical software: CASA, DS9, IRAF/PyRAF, IDL, Topcat.

In the last 5 years, I have given 24 invited talks, 21 contributed talks, 5 poster presentations, and 9 invited outreach presentations at institutions such as the Center for Astrophysics, the California Institute of Technology, the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA-Goddard, West Virginia University, and at conferences all over the world.

Over the last 5 years, I have coordinated and lead many workshops to help users propose for and work with radio data. Worshops like ALMA Proposal Planning Workshop, ALMA Data Reduction Workshop, and GBT Proposal Planning Workshop.

Over the last 5 years, I have participated in workshops such as the Pennsylvania State University Summer School in Statistics for Astronomers VIII, ORP Proposal Writing School, SMA Interferometry School, and AAS Data Carpentry Workshop.

Collaborations that I am actively involved in:

• The Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS) Collaboration

• Extended Radio Sources in Clusters (ExtRAC), 3 members in Europe and the US.

Panelist for NSF and NRAO review committees. Refereed papers for ApJ and PASA.

I have mentored several REU students during our summer REU program at Green Bank Observatory. If you are interested in working with me send me an email.
