Hello! I am a mathematics Ph.D. candidate at UC Davis, advised by Anne Schilling. 

My research is in algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, with interests around crystal bases, symmetric functions, and combinatorial models.


In Fall 2026, I will be teaching MATH 10 as a lecturer at Sacramento State.

In Fall 2027, I will be at Wake Forest University as a Teacher-Scholar Postdoctoral Fellow.
