Community Engagement

I am invested in making the scientific community more diverse, equitable, and accessible — both through efforts to improve the culture internally, and spreading scientific awareness and appreciation to the public. Apart from speaking at events and engaging with the media, I am also the founder of the Caltech Chapter of Towards A More Inclusive Astronomy (TaMIA). We are an organization that promotes inclusivity and empathy by creating safe spaces for discussion, and crafting educational workshops based on narratives from within the astronomy community.

Other organizations I have been involved with include:

• STScI Women In Astronomy Forum (WIAF)  
• Caltech Women’s Engagement Board 
• Caltech Women Mentoring Women Program  
• Caltech WiPMA (Women in Physics, Math, Astronomy)
