Originally, I thought I would pursue a PhD in physics; my Bachelor’s degree is in physics; however, when I happened to read “Intro to Proofs: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook” by Jay Cummings, the course of my life changed.
I have just graduated from the Master’s program in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I am about to start the mathematics PhD program at Brandeis this fall!
For those who are very curious, here’s my CV.
Some of my non-math-related interests are sleight-of-hand magic (mostly cards) and Marvel movies (haven’t missed an opening-night movie since 2016). My favorite magic trick that I have seen (on TV/online) is the following performance of Asi Wind on Penn and Teller. And my favorite superhero is, by far, Captain America.1 For those who know me, the previous sentence is an understatement! Captain America is a hero to me, one that continues to inspire me.

- I know that it’s technically incorrect, grammatically, to start a sentence with the word “and”; however, I am a rebel. ↩︎
