I am a visiting instructor of mathematics at Earlham College in Richmond, IN. I am also a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota studying under Craig Westerland. I expect to complete my degree in 2025 (upon which I will become a visiting professor). Before all that, I earned a B.A. in mathematics from Carleton College in Northfield, MN.
I like to think about probabilistic questions in algebraic number theory, often with a topological or combinatorial approach. I am also a participant in the growing homotopical combinatorics research community. In addition, I am a passionate educator committed to excellence in undergraduate education with experience in both teaching and curricular design.
In my free time, I enjoy seeing new things in the Twin Cities Richmond, going to concerts, working the occasional shift at a restaurant, going for very long walks, and watching/discussing/screaming for my beloved Minnesota Lynx and Timberwolves.
