hi!

Jessamyn (rhymes with specimen) is a non-traditional fifth year undergraduate at Rutgers University. After a ten-year career in knitting and textiles, they returned to school in summer 2018 to pursue an interest in mathematics; they anticipate graduating in August 2023 with a BA in mathematics and a minor in education.

Jessamyn can leap small ottomans in a single bound. Current mathematical interests include algebraic structures, braids, knots, lattice models, and anything that might secretly be yarn. Here's a paper they worked on with their Polymath Jr. group in summer 2022: Solving the n-color ice model
