I'm a visiting professor at Wellesley College. Before coming to Wellesley, I was a graduate student at the University of Virginia. I completed my Ph.D. in 2019 under the supervision of Andrew Obus.

My research interests lie in algebraic geometry and number theory. Specifically, I work with Galois covers of curves over both mixed and equal-characteristic discretely-valued fields. You can find more information about some current projects on my research page.

I also enjoy teaching. You can find descriptions of the courses I've taught on my teaching page. I was also a member of the Project NExT Brown '20 cohort.

Outside of math, I enjoy running, hiking, and cooking.
