I'm a postdoc in the Groups and Dynamics Research Training Group at the University of Texas at Austin. I work with Lewis Bowen. I work in the intersection of ergodic theory and probability, where measure preserving dynamical systems are common objects of study. I have constructed maps between a variety of these systems. My favorite setting is that of nondiscrete, locally compact second countable groups.
I have two beautiful cat children, Rocky and Goose. I got my PhD from the University of Kansas. Originally, I'm from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. My pronouns are she/her and they/them. Here's an interview I did with the lovely LGBT tech PATHS program.
