A bit about me:
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I came to love hiking and backpacking by exploring the nearby Texas hill country. I went to college a few hours north of San Antonio at Baylor University, where I was a University Scholars major - an interdisciplinary major that focused on studying the Great Texts while concentrating in a few additional subjects, in my case mathematics and French. After college I moved a few more hours north to attend graduate school in applied mathematics at Northwestern University, near Chicago. Next I moved further north (and a bit west) to work as a MathCEP Postdoc at the University of Minnesota. After nearly running out of further north to go, I turned around and headed back south to work as a Teacher-Scholar Postdoctoral Fellow in Mathematics at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. In Fall 2022 I started a new position back in San Antonio, at St. Mary's University. When not doing math, I enjoy hiking, playing viola in a community orchestra, cooking, and reading.
