Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Scripps College in Claremont, CA. I did a lot of work in math as an undergraduate, including taking lots of classes, doing government-sponsered research, presenting a paper at the Joint
Mathematics Meetings, writing a thesis on Igusa Local Zeta Functions, and being
named an Alice T. Schafer Honoree by the Association for Women in Mathematics. As soon as I graduated in 2005, however, I became pregnant with my first child, and I have been living the life of a stay-at-home mom since then. Now I'm ready to continue my mathematical career, and I'm excited to be doing it at UNR.

Life is what really interests me. I received a BA in Mathematics from San Francisco State University in the spring of 2007. I actually started out as a creative writing major, but switched my focus
several semesters into the program. I still like to write, as well as rock climb, kayak, do math, and hang out with my fiancee,
Josie, and our dog, Benny (short for Bennington J Brown).

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (minor in Physics) from the University of Nevada, Reno.

I returned to the University in 2002 with goal of becoming a math teacher. Since obtaining my bachelors I've had the privilege of teaching Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, and Calculus. I'm currently working towards my Master's in the field of nonlinear dynamics. My education so far has been both extremely difficult and rewarding thanks to our many great (and patient) professors.
