I am orginally from Florida which is where I did my undergraduate work at the University of Central Florida . I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University. I plan to graduate with a Ph.D. in applied mathematics in August 2009. I am working under Dr. Ralph Smith on modeling carbon nanotube infused polyimides. I am currently being funded by the SMART Fellowship. Upon graduation I will be working in Newport, RI with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
