I am a Postdoctoral Teaching Development Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Virginia. During Fall 2026, I will be on the job market looking for academic positions.

I received a PhD in Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis in 2026 under the advisement of Martha Precup.  I received a masters degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 2023 and a bachelors degree in Mathematics from Yachay Tech University in 2020 for which I wrote an undergraduate thesis under the guidance of Miguel Mendez. 

At WashU, I was also a McDonnell Global Scholar.
