I am a market conduct analyst for the division of insurance within the Vermont department of financial regulation. Primarily that means I look at market conduct information gathered by the NAIC (see https://content.naic.org/mcas-2024.htm), financial statements, consumer complaint information, and other sources in order to identify insurance companies that are outliers or that have trends that might motivate deeper analysis. Working for the department of financial regulation, I also employ my data science expertise in special projects. As a member of the NAIC, I have helped shape the tools regulators will use to regulate the use of AI in the insurance industry. I am proficient in using SAS, Python, R, SQL, and Power BI to clean, analyze, summarize, and present data. I have also learned the fundamentals of relational database theory and data normalization. In the Data tab, you can find more information on my work as a data analyst.

Outside of my work, I am research mathematician working in the area of set theoretic topology. My research primarily focuses on selection principles, the associated games, and the interactions between different spaces in the context of these games. You can find my publications and presentations (going all the way back to graduate school) in the Research tab. In my remaining free time, I play trumpet with the Capitol City Band in Montpelier and with Green Mountain Swing.

My background, for those who are interested. I received my bachelor’s in mathematics from the University of Texas in 2010. While there I focused on analysis and partial differential equations. I then received my master’s degree and PhD from the University of North Texas. My master’s project was to modernize the proof that the Axiom of Choice is independent from the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem. For my doctoral dissertation I studied infinite combinatorics under the axiom of determinacy, i.e. definable infinite combinatorics. I worked as a non-tenure track assistant professor the University of South Alabama from fall 2017 up to summer 2020. While there I focused my mathematical research on set theoretic topology and I began to learn about all kinds of different teaching strategies. From 2020 to 2025, I was an assistant professor of mathematics at Norwich University. I was an innovative educator, an active researcher, a dedicated mentor, and conscientious committee member. Ultimately, I decided that academia was not the right fit for me, and I transitioned out in the start of 2025.

I have taught courses along the entire undergraduate mathematics curriculum, from introductory courses, through the calculus sequence, differential equations, and linear algebra, and proof-based courses including geometry, discrete math, and abstract algebra. I have also taught both introductory and advanced probability and statistics. I have guided independent studies in applying abstract algebra to chemistry, stochastic process and interpolation, analytic geometry, and hyperbolic geometry. Teaching resources and reflections are available on my teaching page.
