Biography
SPS Chapter: University of Utah
My name is Sunny Joy! My heart belongs to astrophysics and political science. Astrophysics, because it combines the STEM of physics with the poetry of astronomy and politics because I am a natural born leader.
I major in Physics & Astronomy and Political Science at The University of Utah. My dream is to work in NASA Administration in Washington DC!
As an undergraduate, I work in an X-Ray Astronomy Research Lab. I research black holes using data from the Chandra Telescope to examine the hearts of galaxies.Outside of academia, I love to sew, play volleyball, knit, and spend time with my cat! I love to get involved in my community and serve!
