Nonacademics

I played on Carnegie Mellon's women's ultimate team, the Money Mellons.
I enjoy puzzle hunts and have competed in the MIT Mystery Hunt, Princeton Puzzle Hunt, and CMU Puzzle Hunt.
I enjoy chess, running, and figure skating.

Outreach

I am currently a mentor for University of Michigan's Directed Reading Program.
I am on the executive board for UM's AWM chapter. I liaise with the department to invite diverse speakers for our colloquium. Have an idea for a speaker for UM's colloquium? Drop me an email!
I help run UM's DRP program.
I was the president of CMU Math Club and was a board member of CMU's AWM chapter.
I was a Junior Counselor at Canada/USA Mathcamp 2019 and 2022. In 2022, I taught a week-long course on an Introduction to Galois Theory.
