This summer I am joining the math and statistics department at Mount Holyoke College. For the previous 13 years, I have been a professor in mathematics at Grinnell College. My research is primarily in computational math, particularly related to questions in algebra, number theory, and geometry. Currently I work on questions of how Jacobian varieties decompose, and group actions on Riemann surfaces.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007 and I was a postdoc at Kansas State University from 2007-2010. I also spent a year at Villanova University. My childhood and formative years were spent in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
