I studied Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University while
working every semester. I took a semester off but
came back and met someone who
would forever change my life: Dr. Carlos Castillo-Chavez. In his SummerProgram
I was introduced to research and graduate school for the first time. I finished
my BS and since mentored in the MTBI SummerProgram. I am a graduate student at
ASU in applied mathematics, authored or co-authored several technical reports
and received competitive recognitions including AMS and LANL presentation
awards. I am a founding member and president of the student chapter of SIAM at
ASU.
