About Me
I am a senior lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. Previously, I was a research postdoc at University of Oregon working with Ben Young. I received my PhD from the University of Minnesota working with Gregg Musiker. I am an alumna of the College of Creatives Studies at UC Santa Barbara where I received my BS and MA.
My research is in algebraic combinatorics. I am a big fan of cluster algebras, representation theory and visualizing abstract mathematics diagrammatically.
I care deeply about making the mathematical community inclusive to all and humanizing the world of mathematics.
Upcoming Events
October 3-4, 2026: I will be speaking at an AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics at George Washington University
November 7-8, 2026: Amanda Burcroff and I are co-organizing a special session on Diagrammatics for Cluster Algebras and Physics at Arizona State University.
Spring 2026: I will be visiting University of Kentucky and Saint Louis University in the spring.
