Here is a pdf of my curriculum vitae.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and attended Loyola Marymount University in Westchester, California. I received a B.S. in Mathematics, and did my senior thesis on the congruent number problem and elliptic curves under the guidance of Dr. Michael Berg.

In the summer of 2005 I participated in the Claremont Colleges REU in Knot Theory under the guidance of Dr. Jim Hoste. I presented this research at the undergraduate poster session at the Joint Meetings in San Antonio Texas in January 2006.

In the summer of 2006 I attended the Trinity University REU in San Antonio, Texas. Under the guidance of Dr. Vadim Ponomarenko I studied the higher dimensional Frobenius problem.

I am currently a sixth year graduate student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I am working on the effects of topological constraints in polymers for various polymer models, under the guidance of Dr. Ken Millett.

I am also interested in math education. I worked with Dr. Maribel Bueno Cachadina on the first UCSB Math Circle, an inquiry based after school program for local middle school students.

In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, lolcats, zombies and listening to music.

I also write posts on the AMS Graduate Student Blog from time to time.
