I am an associate professor at University of California, Santa Barbara. During 2015-2018, I was a Zelevinsky Research Instructor at Northeastern University, working with Emanuele Macrì. I obtained my Ph.D. from University of Michigan in 2015, under the supervision of Herb Clemens and Karen Smith.

My research is partially supported by NSF FRG grant DMS-2052665.
