I am currently a grad student at the University of British Columbia studying for my doctorate in Mathematics. I previously received a masters in Business Analytics and bachelors degrees in Mathematics and Economics (with minors in Statistics and Leadership) from the University of Denver. I have previously worked in a variety of areas including elementary and early childhood education in the Denver community, grant development, baking, high-altitude balloons, and am in the process of developing a new Femme in STEM initiative at DU that will engage and encourage young girls in the STEM fields. I am passionate about interdisciplinary collaboration, specifically where solutions can be found in the juxtaposition of art and music with business, government, or academia, hence my varied and sometimes disjointed experiences and interests. I have extensive tutoring experience at all levels, most recently as a Teaching Assistant with the UBC Department of Mathematics and with the Learning Effectiveness Program at DU tutoring students with learning differences in college math and economics. I also headed up a tutoring program partnering college students with elementary students to study math, reading, and writing. In 2012, I was selected as a Boettcher Scholar, the first from my high school. I am an avid music lover and book reader.
