Mathematical leadership and service to the academic community are two incredibly important facets of my career so far. See the relevant section of my CV for a complete list of leadership and service projects. Some selected leadership/service experience is listed below.
Referee for Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society and International Journal of Algebra and Computation, and reviewer for MathSciNet.
University of Arkansas Department of Mathematical Sciences Inclusive Excellence Committee member (Fall 2023-current): Assisted department efforts to increase support of a diverse mathematical community, address inequity between TT and NTT faculty in the department, and ensure a welcoming environment for mathematicians of all kinds, including helping to craft an forward-looking Inclusive Excellence plan.
Arkansas Math Discovery Day website coordinator (Fall 2023-current): Developed a public-facing website to university standards to advertise the Arkansas Math Discovery Day, a community outreach event designed to help spread enthusiasm to children, teenagers, and adults in the Northwest Arkansas area. I also attended organizational meetings and coordinated efforts by graduate students and faculty to collect expository materials related to the booths at each event.
