I am a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Utah, specializing in geometric group theory. My current research focuses on big mapping class groups of surfaces and their graph-theoretic counterpart, "big Out(Fn)."  My advisor is Priyam Patel.  

Prior to my doctoral studies, I earned both an M.S. and a B.S. in mathematics from Utah State University, where my advisor was Andreas Malmendier. Between my undergraduate and master’s degrees, I interned at the National Security Agency, improving a number-theoretic algorithm as part of my work there.

Outside of mathematics, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my family.
