Activities

I am a proud member of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and endorse the following Statement of Inclusiveness. I also ascribe to Federico Ardila’s axioms for the mathematics community. To read more about my own thoughts on diversity, equity and inclusion, click here.

Here is a list of talks I have given in and out of my institution. See further down for conferences/workshops I have attended and service activities.
