Assistant Professor, Mathematician | she, her, hers

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science (MSCS) at Macalester College. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Macalester College in the MSCS department from 2023 to 2025. 

I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Iowa in August 2023 under the supervision of Ryan Kinser. I also received an M.S. in mathematics (2020) and completed the Graduate Certificate in College Teaching (2022) at the University of Iowa. I graduated from Amherst College in 2018 with a dual degree B.A. in mathematics and music.

My research interests include quiver representation theory, persistence theory, topological data analysis, and algebraic coding theory.
