I am a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at Cornell University, advised by Timothy Riley. For my undergraduate degree I attended Harvey Mudd College.

My research is in geometric group theory, with a focus on understanding how subgroups sit geometrically inside their ambient groups. In particular, I study subgroup distortion and related growth functions.

After completing my Ph.D., I plan to pursue a career in mathematics education. I am particularly excited about helping students move from thinking of math as a procedural process to thinking of math as the language of logical argumentation. 

This website has recourses for my current and former students, including directions for asking for a Letter of Recommendation.  You can also find accounts of my teaching experiences, writings on my teaching philosophy, reflections on student evaluations, some education presentations I have given, my complete CV, and summaries of my major research projects.
