I am a Lecturer of Applied Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis.

I received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley advised by David Eisenbud after which I was a William Chauvenet Postdoctoral Lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis. I did my undergraduate and master's degrees in math(s) at the University of Warwick working with Miles Reid. 

I'm interested in fostering formative learning spaces & communities to imagine and cultivate practices leading to individual and communal formation. I'm a Carver Faculty Fellow and was recently a Project NExT Fellow (Azure '24).

My domain research interests mostly lie in pure/applied geometry and topology. My education research centers on formative assessment practices.
