Courtney

I am a third year graduate student in Mathematics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I did my undergraduate work at The Colorado College in Colorado Springs, CO. My non-math hobbies include hiking, biking, camping, yoga, cooking, and playing with my cats. I am an avid fan of Phutball and the game SET. I am currently a member of the GSAB. In my spare time, I write a mathematical web comic called Brown Sharpie.

Courses

I am working with Project Fulcrum this year as a resident mathematician.
