(Personal background)
picture taken at Bodega Bay, CA

I am a finishing graduate student at U.C. Davis studying Coxeter group actions on hyperbolic spaces. My primary interests are hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory. My advisor is Misha Kapovich.

I will be an RTG post-doc at U Michigan starting in Fall 2008.

I was a TA for the IAS-Women and Mathematics Program 2008. Here are some notes based upon lectures by Genevieve Walsh on orbifolds.

Hillel Raz and I were the co-directors of the 2007 Math Circle, part of the Explore Math program.

I have mostly recovered from repetitive strain injury.
