I recently earned my M.S. in mathematics after finishing my second year as a graduate student at Virginia Tech. My master's thesis, which I completed under the guidance of Dr. Gretchen Matthews and Dr. Hiram López, is titled Automorphisms of Hermitian Codes and Applications. I will be staying at Virginia Tech to pursue my Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Gretchen Matthews.

I received my B.S. in mathematics from Georgia College & State University, Georgia's public liberal arts university, in December of 2023. I was selected as the recipient of the 2024 College of Arts & Sciences Medallion for the Division of Science & Mathematics.

Prior to beginning graduate school, I participated in the Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) Summer Program. The program and the people I've met through it have had a lasting impact on my life and career as a mathematician, and I cannot recommend the program enough.
