When not in the lab, much of my time is spent sharing my enthusiasm for science. In the Quantum Photonics Group, I serve as one of two Outreach Chairs, where I have the priledge of coordinating community outreach fo the entire group. Our biggest effort has been participation in the Boston Museum of Science's annual NanoDays event, where dozens of research groups from around Boston and Cambridge set up demonstrations of nanoscience for museum visitors. At NanoDays 2016, our lab showcased live, hands-on demos of diamond fluorescence, total internal reflection, and diamond magnetometry, all to excellent reception from visitors ranging in age from kindergarten to adults. I've also been active in MIT's Science Policy Initiative, a group with which I've traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with the offices of Congresspeople and Senators about science funding and science education policy.

At Harvard I served as a Teaching Fellow for Physics 12a and 15a, introductory mechanics courses targeted at engineerings and physics majors respectively. I held weekly problem-solving office hours and helped run the laboratory sections; for my work in these courses, I was twice awarded the Derek Bok Center Certificate for Distinction in Teaching. At MIT, I am a Research Mentor with MIT's Summer Research Program, a summer research experience created to help promote the value of graduate education and to improve the research enterprise through increased diversity, specifically by reaching out to socioeconomically disadvantaged demographics.
