Biography and education
I have a Ph.D. from Baylor University that I graduated with in August 2021. I am a native Texan from Burleson with roots in Waco and completed my undergraduate education at Angelo State University in 2016 with Highest Honors from the Honors Program. In my spare time, I enjoy tennis, volleyball, video games, and serving my community however I can.
I enjoy math because it is like a puzzle. Every step in math is logical and has a reason, figuring out math is like solving a puzzle: finding which pieces go where until everything makes sense and comes together to make a beautiful picture that transcends age, language, and background.
