About Me

I am a full stack developer who has had the privilege of working in the EdTech space for over 6 years. It brings me great joy knowing that my contributions have had a positive impact on student success, particularly in STEM subjects, as I am a strong advocate for high-quality math education.

I consider myself a 'maker', both personally and professionally. I love when my creations are enjoyed by others! In my free time I like to paint my nails, bake, sew, and play video games. And yes, I code for fun too. Nothing beats the high of solving a problem you were previously stuck on.

Research

Differential equations were my jam! To this day I still think it is pretty cool being able to model real-life phenomena mathematically. Though academia is not the career path I ended up pursuing, I look back fondly to my university days, analyzing systems of equations and running simulations on a variety of problems. I even completed a couple of research projects in my time, listed below.

At McMaster (2015-2016) my research was in the global dynamics of a predator-prey model in a chemostat. I performed asymptotic and bifurcation analysis on this model with a Holling Type II predatory response function. My grad group's combined efforts were then published a few years later: Tedra Bolger, Brydon Eastman, Madeleine Hill, and Gail S. K. Wolkowicz (2020) "A Predator-Prey Model in the Chemostat with Holling Type II Response Functions," Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, Online first, pp. 1-22
At Brock (2014) I assisted in the research of integrable Non-Abelian Laurent ODEs under the supervision of Thomas Wolf. I computed the infinitessimal symmetries of these equations up to degree 12.
