My current research focuses on undergraduate mathematics majors' sense-making in introductory proof courses; this work is being completed under the direction of Dr. Anna Marie Conner. I examine students' mathematics from cognitive, discursive, and quantitative lenses. Previous research in infectious disease epidemiology and modeling was conducted under the direction of Dr. Juan Gutierrez at the University of Georgia.

I have concurrent interests in mathematics education policy, student retention in STEM fields, the mathematical education of future teachers, mathematics education from PreK through graduate study, quantum cognition, neural networks, and computational/mathematical biology.
