Interests

I am interested in learning new languages, both computer and natural. My favorite undergraduate courses were graph theory and math modelling. Besides majoring in math as an undergraduate, I also majored in classical studies.

When I'm not in class or grading papers, I love a good game. My favorite board games right now are Captain Sonar and Gloomhaven, and my favorite video game is Europa Universalis IV. I also love cooking and eating good food.
