Mentorship

In Summer 2026, Jeff Hatley and I will be co-leading a project as part of the upcoming Rethinking Number Theory (RNT7). Applications will open soon!

While at Wesleyan, I have run several mentorship projects as part of our Directed Reading Program. If you are interested in proposing a topic (especially those related to number theory and algebraic geometry), please get in touch!

In Spring 2025, I presented a mini-course on mathematical cryptology at SWiM@Wes 2025 and served as a project assistant at Arithmetic Geometry at UNT.

Service

I am currently one of the organizers of Wesleyan’s Directed Reading Program.

I previously served as President (Fall 2023–Spring 2025) and Vice President (Fall 2021–Spring 2023) of Wesleyan’s AMS Graduate Student Chapter.

Additionally, from Spring 2022 through Fall 2023, I was a co-organizer of Wesleyan’s Graduate Student Seminar.
