I am a radio astronomer focussing on the interstellar medium and star
formation in nearby galaxies, primarily using radio interferometers at
millimeter and centimeter wavelengths.  I am a member of the CARMA
EDGE collaboration, which has mapped carbon monoxide (CO) and isotopes
in 125 galaxies from the CALIFA sample.  Recently, I have developed
interests in active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the Swift BAT AGN
sample.  I have an interest in optical instrumentation, in particular
Fabry-Perot spectroscopy.  I am also part of the GROWTH partnership
which aims to follow up optical transients; I am particularly
interested in those detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF).
I am interested in increasing the number of under-represented
minorities in astronomy and participate in programs such as GRAD-MAP.
