About

I grew up in Minnesota and have always liked figuring things out, especially when the answer isn’t obvious right away. Over time, that curiosity pulled me toward mathematics, biology, and computational research.

Notes & Reading

I’m hoping to use this space for short notes on math, papers I’m reading, and ideas I want to come back to. Nothing here yet, but stay tuned.
