I am a fifth year graduate student in the University of Washington's math department advised by Cynthia Vinzant. I expect to graduate with my PhD in June 2026. Starting Fall 2026, I will be a Tamarkin Assistant Professor at Brown University.

My research interests lie in and around combinatorics and real algebraic geometry. In particular, I am interested in using tools from the geometry of polynomials to answer questions in combinatorics (and sometimes vice versa!)

I completed my undergraduate degree in Applied Math and Computer Science at Brown University, where I wrote an honors thesis under the guidance of Caroline Klivans, proving the primary decomposition of the ideal generated by flip moves in a grid graph.
