I am originally from Millersville, Maryland (between Baltimore and Washington D.C.) and received my B.A. in Mathematics from Kenyon College. My M.S. and Ph.D. are in Mathematics from Montana State University (MSU). I was advised by Tomas Gedeon and worked on problems in applied topology. Before moving to Vassar, I was a postdoc at Smith College for two years. Altogether, I have lived in Maryland, Ohio, Montana, Massachusetts, and now New York (not the city). My personal interests include:

  • Spending time outside - I gained a huge appreciation of the outdoors when I lived in Montana. Trail running and skiing were hobbies I picked up while living there. I enjoy running all types of distances and have ran a few ultra trail races (50K, 60K, and 50 miles).
  • Art - I have been drawing since I was a kid and also enjoy watercolors and pottery.
  • Reading - My favorite simple pleasure is reading while drinking a big cup of tea.
