Bio

I am a graduate student in math at Stanford, studying differential equations that appear in macroeconomics. I became interested in STEM communication tutoring my peers in math during high school, and I'm very excited to spend the summer at Scientific American. When I'm not doing math, I help organize a women in math mentoring program at Stanford, and I enjoy spending my free time outside in the California sunshine hiking, running, and reading.
