About Me

I am a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign interested in Low-Dimensional Topology, Differential Geometry, and Geometric Analysis. My adviser is Nathan Dunfield.

On a more personal note, I grew up in Lilburn, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta and attended several universities in the Atlanta area including Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State. In the rare event that I am not doing mathematics, you might find me playing tennis, exercising, or playing the guitar.
