I am a third-year PhD student in Mathematics at Oregon State University jointly advised by Christine Escher and Catherine Searle. I completed my master's degree at Wichita State University in 2024, advised by Catherine Searle. My mathematical interests lie in the intersection of differential geometry and algebraic topology. In particular, my master's thesis focused on simply-connected, closed manifolds with a lower curvature bound which admit isometric torus actions. This work involved analyzing the Alexandrov geometry of orbit spaces.
