For my Ph.D. in Experimental Particle Physics, I worked with the CDF Collaboration at Fermilab, just outside of Chicago.
- Thesis topic: "Measurements of the Ratio of W and Z Production and the W Boson Decay Width at CDF" We developed a new likelihood-fit method to more precisely measure the W Boson width, a fundamental constant of nature.
- Invited to give seminars at Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Duke, UC Santa Cruz, U of Illinois, Northwestern, U of Pittsburgh. Gave three…For my Ph.D. in Experimental Particle Physics, I worked with the CDF Collaboration at Fermilab, just outside of Chicago.

Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics Organizer
American Physical Society (APS Physics)
- 1 year 1 month
Science and Technology
Organizing committee member for one of six regional Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) to held in Berkeley in January 2014.
The CUWiP goal is to help undergraduate women continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas.

In Technovation, girls work in teams to develop innovative mobile apps that solve problems in their local communities. Girls are supported by an advisor at their school or community site, as well as women mentors from the technology industry who teach them the basics of coding, user-interface design, market research and entrepreneurship. The program culminates in a World Pitch event each spring, where regional finalists compete to win $10,000 in funding for their app.

"Dinner with a Scientist" Volunteer
Oakland Unified School District
- 1 year 11 months
Science and Technology
At "Dinner with a Scientist," elementary and secondary school kids have a three course meal at the Oakland zoo, sharing each course with a different scientist. Each scientist talks about their work, leads an activity, and answers questions, switching tables every 30 minutes.
