Biography and Education

 I received my undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley majoring in math and minoring in art practice. I did my graduate work at the University of Washington under the supervision of Eric Babson and Isabella Novik. I held postdoctoral positions at TU Berlin (Alexander von Humboldt research fellow), Stanford (NSF institutes postdoc), U Miami, and U Texas before joining the faculty at Texas State in 2016.

Research Interests

 Topological, geometric, and algebraic combinatorics; combinatorial commutative algebra
