I am a graduate student at the University of Utah interested in geometric group theory.   Before starting my PhD, I was an undergrad/master's student at Utah State University, where I worked with Andreas Malmendier.  Between my undergrad and master's at USU, I worked at the National Security Agency, where I worked on designing improvements for a number theoretic algorithm. 

I am currently interested in big mapping class groups of surfaces, and the graph counterpart: "big Out(Fn)." 

When I am not doing math, I love adventuring with my family.
