I was born and raised in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Although I was keen on becoming a visual artist throughout most of high school, the allure of precalculus during my senior year was too strong to ignore. Upon arriving at SUNY New Paltz, I took calculus for fun while continuing to major in art. By the time I completed my B.A. I was focused almost exclusively on mathematics. Shortly thereafter, I earned an M.A. at the City College of New York and went on to pursue a doctorate at SUNY Stony Brook.
Since then I have held postdoctoral positions at the University of Michigan and Tufts University. I am currently a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at UMass Boston.
I can be reached via e-mail at firstname dot lastname at umb dot edu.
My CV is available here.
