Automorphic Forms,
Representation Theory
& Number Theory
Assistant Professor working in automorphic forms, representation theory, and number theory.
Background
I am an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University. Previously, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto under the mentorship of James Arthur. I earned my PhD from the University of Missouri in 2018, advised by Shuichiro Takeda, now at Osaka University.
I am also a faculty advisor for the Oklahoma State University Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics.
I welcome inquiries from prospective undergraduate, master's, and PhD students interested in automorphic forms, representation theory, and number theory. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out by email with a brief note about your background and interests.
Research Interests
My research is in automorphic forms, representation theory, and number theory, closely connected fields whose influence extends well beyond number theory to touch many other areas of mathematics. Number theory studies deep patterns of the integers, especially prime numbers, the fundamental building blocks of arithmetic. Representation theory studies algebraic structures by realizing them as linear transformations of vector spaces, allowing abstract symmetry to be analyzed using the tools of linear algebra. Automorphic forms are highly symmetric functions that connect number theory and representation theory by encoding arithmetic information in forms that can be studied through symmetry. This interaction has led to major advances on longstanding problems and remains one of the central themes of modern mathematics.

Becoming an Actuary
Actuaries are analytical professionals who use mathematics, statistics, and financial theory to assess and manage risk. The profession consistently ranks among the top careers for job satisfaction, salary, and employment outlook. Actuaries work in insurance, finance, consulting, government, and healthcare.
Actuarial credentials are granted by two main organizations: the Society of Actuaries (SOA), which focuses on life, health, pension, and finance, and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), which focuses on property and casualty insurance. Most students begin with the SOA pathway. The first two preliminary exams — P and FM — are jointly administered by both societies.
SOA Pathway to Associate (ASA)
To earn the Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) designation, candidates must complete a combination of exams, e-Learning modules, and validation requirements. There is flexibility in the order of completion. Visit the SOA ASA requirements page for full details.
