I am a Ph.D. candidate in Applied Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working under the guidance of Professors Boyce E. Griffith and Gregory Forest. My research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, particularly fluid-structure interaction problems using the immersed boundary method.

Originally from the small coastal town of Nags Head, North Carolina, I completed my undergraduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, earning a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Mathematics in 2020. During my undergraduate years, I worked in Professor Jillian Dempsey's lab, where I researched solar to fuel conversion catalysts and modeled electrochemical reactions.
