I am an Elliott Assistant Research Professor at Duke University, working with Lenny Ng. I completed my PhD at UC Davis in 2023, advised by Roger Casals. Before that, I graduated with a B.A. in mathematics and music from Bowdoin College. My research is in low-dimensional contact and symplectic topology.
I am on the academic job market this fall.
