Back to All Graduate School Opportunities, Mathematics Spotlights

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Minnesota. My goal is to be a professor at a small liberal arts college (someplace like Saint Michael’s).

In May of 2015, I passed my preliminary oral exam and received my Master’s in Mathematics. In Spring of 2016, I completed all of the requirements to earn a Master’s in Industrial and Systems Engineering. In summer of 2016, I am a software engineering intern in the 3M Health Information Systems data science lab.

Saint Michael’s helped me realize that I do not want to teach high school. At Saint Michael’s I discovered my love for undergraduate level mathematics. Also the teaching at Saint Michael’s is for the students, which helped me to succeed there and inspired me to go further.
