Welcome to the
my home page and to the Mathematics Program at Lindsey Wilson College. I came to Lindsey
because of its mission, its intimate atmosphere and its potential
to have a large impact on the region. I am in my sixth year
as a part of the Mathematics Program. Prior to joining Lindsey, I
spent six years in academia, five-and-a-half years in graduate school,
six years in industry and consulting and a year in the nonprofit
sector. Adding these up, I must be about 25. You can tell from my picture, if
I'm right, it's been a really hard 25 years.
Currently, I am co-division chair of Mathematics & Natural Sciences and program chair
of Mathematics. My professional goals at the moment are to work toward making mathematics
more accessible to all and to aid in creating a culture of
numeracy. My academic
interests are in numerical approximation and optimization modeling.
We seem to learn better if we feel better, so
I also believe a healthy lifestyle and exercise should be lifelong
endeavors. I am an advocate for athletics programs as part of
the education experience and enjoy participating in paddling
events and the
Outdoorsman Triathlon.
