After completing my BA in mathematics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, I came to Cambridge to study Part III maths. My academic interests lie chiefly in mathematical logic, but one of the opportunities studying at Cambridge offers is exposure to a wide array of mathematical ideas. The breadth of knowledge with which I hope to leave Cambridge should allow me to converse more fluently with mathematicians of all sorts, enhancing both my understanding and the understanding of my students and colleagues. After I leave Cambridge I intend to pursue a PhD in mathematics.
