About Me


  • I completed my Ph.D. at ​Dartmouth College in June 2012 under the direction of Carl Pomerance. Before that, I received a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Chicago.
  • I owe much of my mathematical interest (and any subsequent success) to the Ross Mathematics Program, where I spent three summers working as a student, junior counselor and counselor. I recently wrote about my experiences at the Ross Mathematics Program in the AMS-MAA book "Living Proof: Stories of Resilience Along the Mathematical Journey."
  • When I’m not working on math, I enjoy traveling and dancing. While at Oberlin, I was thrilled to be a member of the Oberlin College Aerialists, a student-run aerial circus group. I also performed with several Cleveland-based aerial troupes (Shanty Circus and Stardrop Circus).
  • I also have a deep love for music. Before transitioning to a mathematics career, I majored in voice at a performing arts magnet high school in Baltimore and spent a summer at Tanglewood.
