Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center of Mathematics at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology an Genetics and an Early Career Fellow at the University of Oxford within St John's College. I completed my PhD in Mathematics in May 2021 at North Carolina State University under the direction of Seth Sullivant. My research interests are in algebra, geometry and combinatorics, and their applications to statistics and biology. In April 2023, I received the L'Oreal-UNESCO UK and Ireland For Women in Science Rising Talent Award.
