research interests

I am broadly interested in algebraic geometry and combinatorics. Most of my recent work concerns the geometry and topology of moduli spaces which arise in the enumerative geometry of algebraic curves. See my research page for more information.

academic bio

I received my PhD in math from Brown University in 2023. My thesis advisors were Melody Chan and Dhruv Ranganathan. For 2023-2024 I was a postdoc in the mathematics department at UCLA.

I was fortunate to attend Pomona College as an undergraduate, and I worked with Dagan Karp when I was there.
