Biography: 

I graduated from Appalachian State University with a B.S. in Mathematics and a Certification in Geographic Information Systems, May of 2023. As an undergraduate I was a Research Assistant working with Dr. Gregg Marland within Appalachian State's Research Institute of Environment, Energy, and Economics. Senior year of undergrad I became a Research Assistant for Dr. Maggie Sugg. During my time as an undergraduate, I also participated on the App State Swim Team and was Vice President of Math Club, along with being the Chair of the Mathematical Science Department's Student Advisory Board. I also had the opportunity during my last semester as an undergrad to present my Honors Thesis project on classifying community resilience, at the NC GIS Conference.

My grad school journey started with the 4+1 accelerated admissions program within the Mathematical Sciences Department, but I really enjoyed my GIS classes and wanted to continue using those skills and working with the Geography and Planning Department. Now I will be at App State for two more years in a Dual Degree program to receive a Masters in Mathematics and Geography. I will also be a Graduate Research Assistant under Dr. Maggie Sugg, with a research interest in maternity health.

In my free time I really enjoy baking, being outdoors, reading, embroidery and other arts, and always singing and dancing for fun.
