My name is Tamasin Johnson. I am a Physics student with an emphasis on astronomy at Brigham Young University Idaho. I am an aspiring Astrophysicist with a plan to work for research firms on exoplanetary detection. I am an Observatory Operator at the local telescope at BYU-I. During the Spring Semester, I worked with a professor on RR Lyra star data. I am passionate about astronomy and planetary science, and I hope to work in a field that is within that range.
