Bio
I am a postdoc at the University of Michigan studying commutative algebra in positive characteristic. I'm also interested in connections with combinatorics and in symbolic powers of ideals. Before Michigan, I was a postdoc at the University of Oklahoma, and prior to that I did my PhD at the University of Utah.
When not thinking about math, I enjoy cycling, climbing rocks, and training my dog Annie.
