Hi there! I am a mathematics graduate student at Colorado State University working with Amit Patel. My current research interests involve persistent homology and cohomology, generalizations of persistence diagrams, and the interesting tools from category theory and combinatorics that play a role in topology.
On this website, you can find info on my research, links to important documents, a list of my current and previous teaching assignments, and some information about my hobbies outside of mathematics. Specifically, check out my "running" page to take a look at my podcast, Runners of FoCo!
