I co-founded <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ia\/about\/\">Inclusive Astronomy<\/a> at Boston University which aims to coordinate public engagement for underserved communities while fostering community within our department. I also co-founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/astro-grad-congress.github.io\/about\/\">Astronomy Graduate Congress<\/a> to promote inter-departmental discourse. Born and raised in Paris (France), I seek to connect with others, combine ways of thinking science.
