Despite being an early-career student, Anna has a long list of science outreach to her credit. Early in her student career, Anna volunteered with the U of A College of Science Brunch with Bennu event and has gone on to represent LPL at many other events, including the “STEAM Night and Star Party” at Esmond Station K-8 school, Arizona Sands Club Eclipse Viewing Event, and the Mica Mountain High School Computer Science night.

Anna often participates in community science outreach programs. She has served on a graduate panel at the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics and has given research career talks to the Women in Physics Club at North Carolina State University, the John T. Hoggard High School, and Tucson City High School.

Anna also ran the Exoplanet-James Webb Space Telescope station at the University of Arizona Foundation special event for the Old Main Society. She facilitated a field trip for a science class from Tucson City High School to come to visit LPL and learn about research at the department. She is actively participating in Arizona Science Center’s Girls Who STEM program where she mentors young girls through lab and science activities, helping them navigate uncertainties and self-doubt in STEM fields; she has mentored over 40 young women mentored to date. Anna also works with the STAR Labs Mentorship program, currently advising a high school student on a research project that focuses on the impact of possible planetary magnetic fields on the upper atmospheres of exoplanets.
