I am an assistant professor in the math department at Emory University. I graduated in 2015 from the University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in mathematics. My advisors were Rob Lazarsfeld and Karen Smith. I spent the academic year 2015-16 as an NSF postdoctoral fellow at University of Utah, and 2016-2020 as an NSF postdoctoral fellow and Benjamin Peirce fellow at Harvard. My research interests are mostly in classical algebraic geometry.

Biography
Before graduate school, I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. Prior to that, I went to Saint Paul Central High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota. However, from grades seven through eleven, I took my math classes through UMTYMP (University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program). I enthusiastically endorse UMTYMP, and cannot overstate its impact on me mathematically. Outside of math, I like to boulder and lift weights and spend time with my husband and my toddler.
