Current
I'm a third year Ph.D. student in the Mathematics Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). My research area is in coding theory, and my advisor is Dr. Christine Kelley. To any prospective students interested in the UNL math department, please feel free to send me an email. I would be very happy to share about my experiences!
Previously
Before coming to UNL, I worked for AmeriCorps, the federal agency focused on domestic volunteerism. I worked as a Program Analyst for the National Civilian Community Corps and greatly enjoyed the work, the mission, and the wonderful co-workers. Before joining AmeriCorps as a staff member, I completed a year of service as an AmeriCorps Volunteer in Service to America (VISTA). During that year I worked in data analysis and quality assurance for Housing Connect, a housing authority in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was deeply fortunate to work with wonderful colleagues who are incredibly dedicated to the mission of providing affordable housing to folks across Salt Lake County. My time in Utah also sparked a deep love for hiking, exploring National Parks, and nature photography.
Before That
I'm from beautiful Savannah, Georgia, spending most of my childhood living in Coastal Georgia. As much as I love travelling and visiting new places, the Lower Coastal Plain will always have a special place in my heart.
