Background:

I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Arizona.  I am currently studying programmed ribosomal frameshifting in viral translation of proteins.   My advisor is Joe Watkins. My previous projects have included the orbital evolution of a class of planetesimals and modeling of swarm behavior. I am also very interested in education and outreach. For the 2009-2010 school year I am working with Arnulfo Velasquez at Wakefield Middle School as a G-TEAMS Fellow. G-TEAMS (Graduate Students and Teachers Engaging in Mathematical Sciences) is a GK-12 program funded by the National Science Foundation to pair graduate students in STEM fields with K-12 teachers.
