Her career goals are to obtain a Ph.D., acquire an astrophysics research position within NASA, and construct a public outreach program that will encourage students from minority communities to pursue a STEM career. As a student, her research background has involved participating in NASA\u2019s L\u2019SPACE Academies, serving as the UF Undergraduate Telescope Operator, working as a Caltech SURF student for the NASA NEOWISE Mission, and specializing in stellar archaeology as a UF Undergraduate Research Assistant. This summer, Bella will work with her faculty mentor, Dr. Andrew Vanderburg, to establish exomoon constraints in the Beta Pictoris system using astrometric measurements. As a first-generation Latina, she also works as a College Coach with the UnidosNow non-profit organization, inspiring the next generation of first-gen students to seek higher education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3109,"template":"","profile_category":[21],"class_list":["post-2497","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2023-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3110,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2497\/revisions\/3110"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=2497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
