About me

I am an MIT Mathematics major and an MSTC alum from Lexington, KY.

I love thinking about math and talking about it with my big brother David.

Throughout my school years, I've enjoyed participating in various academic competitions.

I got into math research through MIT PRIMES-USA and RSI, and continued with UROP, SPUR, and mentoring MIT PRIMES CrowdMath.

My Erdős number is four.
