Biography

After starting undergrad as a mathematics education major, the "maths after calculus" was so fascinating that I switched paths in favor of one leading toward mathematics graduate programs. During my master's I was introduced to the mathematical field of Graph Theory and liked it so much that it became the focus of my doctoral studies. Topics in this area are understandable by students as early as middle school and offer ample opportunities for students to gain experience with mathematical research; let me know if you're interested!

Through teaching responsibilities at Davidson College, Northern Kentucky University, and now 糖心logo在线入口, I have taught courses at all levels of the curriculum from general education, through Calculus, and up to advanced topics. Additionally, I have helped facilitate mathematics enrichment activities for K-12 students through a regional math club, mathematics festivals, and visits to K-12 classrooms.

I hold memberships in the Association for Women in Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America. At the section level of the MAA, I have served as a newsletter editor and helped organize student activities at section meetings. At the national level, I am a 2017 Project NExT Fellow.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being out in nature, and have trained up for a few marathons and a half Ironman triathlon.
