My PhD advisor is Dr. Anne Shepler and my anticipated graduation date is May 2023.

After receiving my degrees in mathematics and accounting from Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, I obtained my MS in mathematics from Sam Houston State University (SHSU) in Huntsville, Texas. I taught high school in Trinity, Texas and was an adjunct instructor at SHSU before pursuing my doctoral degree at UNT. I live in Denton with my family.

Research Interests

My research focuses on deformations of associative algebras using techniques from homological algebra. I investigate the deformations of skew group algebras over fields of positive characteristic by analyzing the Hochschild cohomology. I am particularly interested in the case when the characteristic of the underlying field divides the order of the group.

Travel

I am from Sabinal, Texas, a very small town just east of Uvalde. I enjoying spending time outdoors when I can, so between semesters I try to at least go on a quick camping trip. Here are some of my most recent trips.
