I have been at Georgetown since 2015.

I formerly taught at Oberlin College. Since 2019 I have served as the Director of Undergraduate Studies for our department.


My primary research area is configuration theory. Configurations are arrangements of points and lines which satisfy certain regularity properties, or more abstractly are incidence structures which share similar properties. My research projects are largely accessible to undergraduates.


I enjoy choral singing, foreign language study, and chess in my spare time.
