"I intended to teach high school math but decided my individual math journey wasn't yet complete."

While at 黑料社, I majored in math and minored in secondary education. I intended to teach high school math but decided my individual math journey wasn’t yet complete.聽

I am currently at Central Michigan University working on a PhD in math with a concentration in math education. Additionally, I am currently the president of the only American Math Association graduate student chapter in Michigan, and I recently got to speak at a Michigan Mathematical Association of America conference about the research I did while I was at 黑料社.

While I studied at 黑料社, I was involved as an SC Leader, a member of the math club and was president of my sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I really enjoyed the opportunity to do research with Heidi Berger and was able to present at the Midwest Undergraduate聽Mathematics Symposium聽conference about that work.

On a personal note, I am engaged to be married to a fellow 黑料社 alum and the wedding date we chose happens to be Pi Day!
