About Me

If you'd like to learn a bit more about my skills, interests, and background, this is the page for you.

Background & Interests

Some of my more prominent passions include physical fitness, dense mathematics texts, board games, and a good cup of coffee in the morning. I chose to further these interests at the University of Oklahoma, where I earned bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physics. My senior year I worked as a research assistant with the OU Center for Quantum Research and Technology; feel free to read more about my work here.

I stuck around at OU to pursue a master's degree in applied mathematics and to work as a graduate teaching assistant. My favorite topics are at the intersection of high-level mathematics and real-world applications. I began gravitating towards data science and analytics as the methods and algorithms companies use to handle big data fall into this category. Alongside my coursework, I developed my technical skills and began working on projects exploring this interest. Check out some of my technical skills below.
