About Me

Hello! I am a second year at the University of Chicago, studying math. I am hoping to be a mathematician in academia. I'll be documenting my journey for future ideas, reference, and self-reflection/analysis. I'll also be blogging about my philosophy and other assorted things.

Here is my CV (1/19/25)
