This is a picture from my astronomy research class for intermediate observation techniques. I am so thrilled and happy with the pictures I took in this class, because I made them. I took every photo, and all the other technical aspects were done by me. It was something that I created entirely by myself and it makes me incredibly proud.

Horsehead Nebula
During a project in my astronomy research class for intermediate observation techniques, we got to use actual telescopes to take images of deep space objects, and I chose to look for the Horse Head Nebula. It was one of my favorite classes and best projects.

Bradley Observatory Plaza
Picture of the Bradley Observatory Plaza, taken by me. This is a picture of the Bradley Observatory Plaza, a place I’ve spent many hours teaching dozens of kids. It was my first introduction to astronomy at Agnes, and now I get to introduce kids of all ages to it.

Georgia Space Grant Consortium
https://gasgc.org/wp/ My junior year I started work as the outreach fellow for the Observatory, which is a role supported by the Georgia Space Grant Consortium. I got to work with them on projects for K-12 space education, and other projects that even included talking to congressmen about our work.

Chile’s National Fine Art’s Museum
Photo of my friends and I at the National Fine Art’s Museum in Santiago, Chile. My freshman year my global class went on a trip to Chile, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I loved all of the art and museums and my classmates and I had even more fun imitating all of the art we liked. This group photo was a treasure for all of us.

This Portfolio
The purpose of this portfolio is to concisely demonstrate my work and experiences at Agnes Scott College. I want to display both my academic accomplishments, and the personal moments that helped me grow as a person and prepared me for the future.

About
I’ve traveled to Chile to learn about protest through art and literature, and been fortunate enough to also experience Barcelona, Paris, and London. I’ve also gotten to work with my brilliant professors and conducted research about giant O and B stars, and took pictures of the horse head nebulae in space with telescopes from the SARA consortium in the Chilean desert. My biggest leadership role has been my job as the Georgia Space Grant Consortium outreach fellow for the Bradley Observatory. I’ve found a love for teaching and training fellow students as well as connecting with my local community to share my passion for science andastronomy. I have enjoyed every…

Thermal Physics
Problem 2.9 For this problem, we were given a table and graph which contained data for two Einstein solids, each containing three harmonic oscillators, with a total of six units of energy, that we needed to reproduce. I used Google Sheets, and recreated the table and graph for the original data. The assignment was to then modify the table and graph to show the case where one Einstein solid contains six harmonic oscillators and the other contains four harmonic oscillators. With these changes I had to calculate the new multiplicity for each Einstein solid, and then the new total multiplicity, with this formula. Ω(N, q) = q + N −…

Teamwork Reflection
This semester in physics has been perhaps one of the most difficult yet. Not only has the course work increased in difficulty, but the state of the world itself has provided immense stress. In response to all of this, I feel that the most important things I have brought to my team this semester were a positive attitude, energy, and lots of encouragement. I’m not always the best team player, but this semester I really made it my focus to be engaged and help my team members stay involved and feel supported. The first feedback I received from my teammates was how much they appreciated the energy and enthusiasm I…

Teamwork Reflection
I have spent the last three months in my physics class working with a team. These three months with my team have taught me a lot. When I first learned that we would be working with teams all semester, and that we would be taking quizzes together I was wary for a few reasons. I was worried that the work load would not be split evenly, or that I would get stuck doing more work. But mostly, I was worried about not performing well and letting down my teammates while also embarrassing myself. It was this fear that gave me the extra push before every quiz to study and make…
