Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a sophomore student at Princeton University, pursuing studies in philosophy and astronomy. I am particularly intrigued by the field of astrobiology, and the philosophical implications associated with the possible discovery of life beyond Earth. In addition, I am interested in space policy and the relations between the private and public sectors. Finally, and as a philosophy major, the ethics of space exploration and colonization are also of central interest to me.

I come from British Columbia, Canada, and my hobbies include acting, skiing, and ice hockey.

Looking forward to the opportunity of taking you on a tour of the cosmos!
