About Me

I am an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Tyler.  I have been at UT Tyler for 5 years.

​

My research focus is at the intersection of combinatorics and number theory, specifically partitions and modular forms.

​

I live with my husband, our two-year-old son, our one-year-old daughter, and our two dogs.

​

I enjoy swimming, reading, and watching TV with my family.
