Hello everyone! I'm a freshman intended physics major at UC Berkeley, and I am taking the honors mechanics course. It is really rigorous, but I do feel like I'm learning a lot. My strengths are Newton's Laws-based questions, and my current weakness is setting up differentials.

I love astrophysics and particle physics, and I'm actually part of a research group in dark matter detection. Hope everyone is doing well. Looking forward to getting to know some other students on here!
