About

I grew up in rural Wisconsin and lived in Montana for about six years during graduate school. I developed a passion for algorithms and geometry during my undergraduate degree and continued pursuing these interests throughout my PhD where I was advised by Dr. Brittany Fasy. I started running in undergraduate and this hobby grew into countless terribly expensive outdoor activities.
