Hello! I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Math can sometimes seem pretty abstract and arbitrary, but it is really full of power and beauty. I love communicating math, which basically means finding ways to make math mine (and yours :) ). I also love to write poems, and read good books. I love rain and hanging out with my family. I love making things, including bread. If I were to choose a career path other than math research, it would probably involve: storytelling, flower arrangements , computer programming , card making, baking, eggplant parmesan, or math/science communication. Enjoy my little corner of the web! <3
