Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! My name is Christine, and I'm a sophomore at Stanford studying Physics and Math. I love astrophysics, from vibrant, beautiful galaxies to the mysteries of the dawn of cosmic time. I spent several years working in research on gravitational waves, neutron stars, and black holes with the Nobel-prize-winning team at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), and am so stoked to share what I learned with you all!
