About Me

Hi! I love algebra, number theory, complex analysis, combinatorics (graph theory and sandpile groups) and mathematics education. Besides studying math I like to read, watch movies, bike and travel.

I received my BS in Mathematics from the University of Arizona and my MS in Mathematics from California State University Los Angeles.  Right now, I am a finishing my last year as a doctoral student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. My advisor is Dr. Vic Reiner.
