Summary

In 2022, I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and a B.S. in Discrete Mathematics. In my undergraduate, I helped create Code12, an application used to aid students learn programming principles, with Dave Parker which was used in Sierra College introductory computer science courses. Under the guidance of Dr. Fred Harris Jr., my team and I created Graph-It, an application used to visualize and compute various graph theory computations for both academics and professionals. Additionally, for several years I worked at the University Math Center as a Shift Leader Tutor where I was able to assist students in a variety of subjects ranging from linear algebra to classical mechanics.

As a graduate student teaching assistant, I have taught several calculus recitations and I have shifted my focus to pure mathematics, particularly higher category theory. I am advised by Dr. Jonathan Beardsley.
