About Me

I graduated Scripps College in 5/2008 with a BA in Mathematics and found myself teaching advanced algebra to 6th graders in Compton, CA. This job can be incredibly satisfying and a whole lot of fun but is no longer moving me in the direction I want to go with my career. I've decided to move back home to Seattle, WA to be near family and work towards a graduate degree in mathematics. If I teach again, it will be at the university level with the more interesting math and expectation of continual education through research and publishing.

Until I move (8/2010) and once I'm in Seattle, I'm interested in doing something that is mentally challenging and uses the mathematician in me that's incredibly detail-oriented and thorough.
