PhD in Mathematical Sciences

Biography

I have found long calculations relaxing since I was young, which led me to mathematics. I am originally from Asheville, so I was naturally drawn to the area due to its familiarity. My favorite class to teach is Math Reasoning. I enjoy being one of the first instructors to expose students to formal mathematical proofs. I enjoy playing chess, reading, and hanging out with my family. 

I am the graduate coordinator for the MS in Mathematical Sciences and Kappa Mu Epsilon Coordinator.

Typical Course Load:

• Math Reasoning
• Real Analysis
• Modern Algebra
