She came to LBTO from Kitt Peak where she worked as a telescope operator.  She focuses her nighttime support efforts primarily with LBTI and AO, although well versed with all of our instruments and provides support for all partner science. PI’s preparing observations that utilize the LBTO AO system, such as LUCI AO or ESM, can feel free to contact her for phase II checks or support in the preparation of their observations.
