My name is Dawn and I am a postdoc at the University of Virginia in the Department of Astronomy. I completed my PhD at the University of Rochester in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, working in the Near Infrared Astronomy Group. I was an undergraduate at Boston University where I majored in astronomy and physics and did research related to star formation with Professor Dan Clemens. For all you BU alumni, if you miss BU, check out the Marsh Plaza webcam!

I have included a lot of links to subjects that I am interested in as well as some information about me, random quotes, some miscellaneous links, where I've been, and links to some of my friends' pages and volleyball teams. Something I enjoy way more than I should is web shopping--here are links to a few of my favorite e-stores. My favorite animal is the elephant, and here is my elephant page. Lastly, check out this incredibly cute dancing bunny. Enjoy!
