I am a Ph.D candidate in Mathematics at CU Boulder, advised by Markus Pflaum. My research interests lie in the intersection of differential geometry and mathematical physics. My current studies focus on jet theory and formal integrability, particular as they relate to the Einstein Field Equation. I have recently accepted a position at Colorado School of Mines as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department beginning in Fall 2026.
I am originally from southwestern Virginia. I love reading, knitting/crocheting, sewing, bookbinding, book collecting, and animals (especially my two cats, Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell, and my cocktails of sled dogs, Toby and Ella). I live in Longmont, CO with my husband and aforementioned animals.
