About Me

I recently finished my PhD at Auburn University with a focus in discrete mathematics (in particular, Graph Theory). I have been a participant in the Graduate Research Workshop in Combinatorics as well as a participant in the MASAMU research workshop in Southern Africa.

I enjoy working on outreach programs and at Auburn I coordinated a program that oversaw approximately 100 middle school students each year solving undergraduate and graduate level mathematics problems. I will continue this work in a similar program  held at several colleges/universities across the country.

Outside of work related activities, I enjoy exercising, training muay thai and brazilian jiu-jitsu, and board/computer games.
