I can't believe I finally made it to (the bottom of) the front page of a national newspaper 😭 and yes, I may not know exactly what I am doing with my life but I am sure it will be for the Filipino people πŸŒΈπŸ’•. Thank you so much @inquirerdotnet for the feature!

It’s officialβ€”after finishing Physics @MIT, I’m going to @UChicago to pursue a PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics! πŸ”­. As a small town girl from πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­, I knew I wanted to study the stars. Thanks to the support of all my mentors and friends, I finally get to realize that dream.

I’ve never felt more integrated into the astro community than I have in the past month. As someone who spent the bulk of undergrad feeling very isolated due to COVID, this grad app experience was really refreshing.
