I am in my fifth year of graduate school in mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I study Grobner Bases under the direction of William W. Adams. Thus I spend my days on my dissertation research. I also run the Women In Mathematics (WIM) seminar. Check out our seminar schedule. When I am not involved in the world of mathematics, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, swimming, serving food at a nearby soup kitchen, and playing an occasional game of ultimate frisbee, tennis, or raquetball.
