About me: I am a fourth year graduate student and PhD candidate in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. My advisor is Vic Reiner. I did my undergrad at Reed College. After that, I spent a year at Smith College's Post-Baccalaureate Program for women in mathematics.

I am currently supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Before that, I was supported by a three-year UMN College of Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship.

Research: I study algebraic combinatorics. Specifically, I am interested in reflection groups and their connections to combinatorics, representation theory and algebraic topology. See my research page for more details.

Organizing:

• I am a co-organizer of the Mathematics Project at Minnesota, a four-day workshop in January for UMN undergraduates that come from groups traditionally underrepresented in mathematics. The workshop runs annually every January.
• I am co-organizing the Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference on April 23-25, 2021 at UMN. Check back for details.
• In 2018-2019 I co-organized the Student Combinatorics and Algebra Seminar with Esther Banaian. The current website can be found here.
