I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Washington, supported by the NSF GRFP. I am a former undergraduate student in mathematics at Kansas State University. Broadly speaking, my interests are primarily in geometry and analysis; my prior research has been in symplectic geometry and the spectral theory of operators.

Most recently, I worked with Dr. Lino Amorim on a project studying an analogue to Chen-Ruan cohomology on dihedral twisted sectors. Prior to this, I participated in the 2022 REU in Mathematical Analysis at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga under Dr. Roger Nichols, where my cohort studied the weak convergence of the spectral shift operator between two resolvent-comparable Schrödinger operators.
