I am a  PhD candidate in Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis with an interest in algebraic and geometric combinatorics working with 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. 

Together with Cesar Meza, we co-founded and ran The Fireside Chats at the Department of Mathematics at WashU. I once co-organized, the WashU Combinatorics Seminar and now attend the Washu Algebraic Geometry and Combinatorics Seminar.

At WashU, I am also a McDonnell Global Scholar.
