Background

After completing my B.S. in Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2009, I moved to Berlin on a full scholarship from the Berlin Mathematical School. I did my graduate work at the Technische Universität Berlin while simultaneously joining the interdisciplinary Zuse Institute Berlin where I gained expertise in combinatorial optimization and algorithmic discrete mathematics. My own research interests apply these techniques to theoretical questions in extremal combinatorics.

Before joining Davidson, I spent three semesters as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados. I consider myself a dedicated educational guide and am committed to active learning and collaboration as well as diversity and inclusion.
