About Me

I am a lover of cities and humans! I enjoy learning about history, often with a local and/or transportation-focused bend as well as going for long walks in urban surrounds. I am also a huge basketball fan, particularly for the Minnesota Lynx and Timberwolves!

Why do you teach at Earlham?

I am a product of a liberal arts school and benefited greatly from the engaging teaching styles and individualized attention that gave me access to. I am excited to do the same for my students!

Education

• B.A. Carleton College
• M.S. University of Minnesota

Scholarly Interest

I like to think about probabilistic questions in algebraic number theory, often with a topological or combinatorial approach. I am also interested in the burgeoning homotopical combinatorics subfield.
