Christian is a proud double River Hawk, currently pursuing his master's degree in Physics with a concentration in quantum information. He graduated with his B.S. in Physics in 2026. During his undergrad, Christian worked as a Resident Advisor, a Kennedy College of Sciences (KCS) ambassador, and a teaching assistant for the Honors Development Study Center. Through both collaborative efforts in research and Residence Life, Christian gained a deep love for community and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education access. When he isn't working, you can find Christian at the Rec, studying on North Campus, or buried in a video game.
