Hello everyone! My name is Emma Goulet (she/her), and I am a rising senior at Saint Anselm College. I major in Physics and Psychology, with a minor in Astronomy and Planetary Science. This coming summer, I will be the incoming Center for History of Physics/Niels Bohr Library & Archives Intern. At this point, I have been lucky enough to do mainly more technical astronomy research through my school and previous REU programs. I have always imagined myself in some kind of astronomy or research-related field, as I am also doing a few research and teaching projects on the side and getting certified to be able to find Pulsar stars with astronomical data. However, I have always wanted to explore what else I could do with physics and am thrilled to try something new with the policy in this internship! I am extremely passionate about the importance of amplifying underrepresented voices and policy matters; finding some middle ground between this and my excitement about physics research is a really amazing opportunity. Before this internship, I couldn’t think of a way to combine my passions for physics, psych, and education specifically in social equality; I am thrilled to find some kind of intersections between these passions and am excited to try my hand at more historical research and writing! I am also the president of my school's SPS chapter, and it has been a blast getting closer to my department because of it! We are a tiny department, so coming together in our SPS chapter has really been an amazing way to establish our wonderful community.

Apart from professional-related pursuits, I am very outdoorsy in my personal life. I love camping, hiking, animals, etc (probably because I live next to a farm and have camped my whole life). In very much the same vein, I have found hobbies in fitness and cooking! I have worked as a chef and in a kitchen, and I love making up recipes and trying new things, as well as physically challenging myself. While I am excited to combine a few of my passions together in this internship, I am also thrilled to be able to meet the other interns and live in an apartment with a few peers in downtown DC! I truly can’t wait to meet everyone and get outside of my comfort zone this summer.
