Hi! I am an algebraic/enumerative combinatorialist studying Jack symmetric functions and hook length formulas. I finished my PhD at the University of Oregon in June 2026. My advisor was Ben Young. During the last year of my PhD, I was a visiting assistant professor of mathematics at Colby College. I currently live in San Diego with my partner and two cats.

Previously, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in math and a concentration in Japan studies from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and a Masters degree in mathematics at the University of Oregon.
