In the Summer of 2007 I received my Ph.D. in Financial Mathematics under the joint direction of Dr. Alec Kercheval (Mathematics) and Dr. Paul Beaumont (Economics). You can see my dissertation here.
- In the Spring of 2004 I received my Master's degree in Financial Mathematics at the Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, USA
- In 2002 I graduated from the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a double major in Applied and Pure Mathematics and a minor in Economics
Professional
Currently I am a Quantitative Analyst with the Options Trading group at FPL Energy in Juno Beach, FL.
- In the summer of 2006 I accepted an invitation to attend the Institute on Computational Economics in Chicago, IL. This was a great opportunity to meet some of the best and brightest graduate students in my field. You can learn more about the Institute here and see the poster I presented here.
- In the Summer 2003 semester I held an internship position as a quantitative analyst with ENMAX Energy Corporation in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
- In 2002 I oversaw the planning of the Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) which we held at the University of Calgary. You can view the website for the conference here.
Teaching
I have taught many classes at FSU including Precalculus, Business Calculus and Calculus and Analytic Geometry I and II.
- In the Fall 2002 semester I was a recitation instructor for MAC 1105 - College Algebra.
- In the 2001/2002 school year I was a tutorial instructor for Calculus I at the University of Calgary.
