The start of my employment at the University of Mississippi was as a tutor for the Department of Mathematics, then also Computer Science, before I met Dr. Thai Le.
Dr. Le helped me find a number of research opportunities on campus, and I took up a role with the National Center for Physical Acoustic's Applied Acoustics Group.
I worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant, under the group PI Dr. Wayne Prather, for three semesters as an undergraduate.
As a Graduate student I worked and studied for another year and a half, each semester with added capability and expectations.
After graduating early in December 2025 I stayed at the lab for another half year in order to wrap up all of my projects.

As of now I'm hunting for the next step in my career while continuing my work in the Applied Acoustics group.
I'm excited to apply my skills as a software engineer, data scientist, and research assistant in a novel environment on exciting and important problems.
Feel free to contact me with any opportunities that I would be a good fit for!
