I work on homological questions about structure resulting from a group action. When a group acts on an algebraic variety, the combinatorics of the orbit structure and induced grading on the structure sheaf shed light on the geometry of the variety, by providing more tools for computing important algebro-geometric invariants.

This mini-conference is hosted jointly by Iowa State, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and highlights work in commutative algebra and related fields like algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and more.
At UMN in May 2020, we will air fresh perspectives and open problems in combinatorics and algebra, those that you think will be important for the future.
This April 2019 workshop introduced cutting edge research topics in commutative algebra, to strengthen the network of female and non-binary mathematicians and develop collaborative relationships.
A 2017 meeting in honor of Gennady Lyubeznik's 60th birthday.
I am the faculty advisor for this active, inspiring group of students! This AWM chapter aims to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and the equitable treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences at the University of Minnesota.
I am the leader for this regional mentor group. The EDGE program is designed to strengthen the ability of women and minority students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.
I was the 2019 coordinator for the UMN Combinatorics REU and have continued involvement since 2018.
