I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst). Previously, I held the position of Lindsay Visiting Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Statistics at Pennsylvania State University. I received my PhD and an MS in Biostatistics from Florida State University, and an MS in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. My research interests include shape analysis, geometric statistics, functional data analysis, and differential privacy.

Outside of work I enjoy rock climbing, lifting, gaming, and playing guitar.
