Welcome! I am an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow and Instructor at the University of Virginia, working with Slava Krushkal. During the 2022-2023 academic year I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, working with Arunima Ray. I completed my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Georgia in 2022, advised by David Gay, and my B.A. in mathematics at Saint Louis University in 2016.

I am currently on the job market! To see what I’ve been up to lately, check out my research, teaching, and outreach pages. For a more detailed version of my mathematical history, view my CV here or click the button below. For even more about me, see my about page.

I subscribe to Federico Ardila’s axioms:

  1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
  2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
  3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
  4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
