Teaching

“Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together”
– Hayden Scott.

I am passionate about making mathematics more welcoming, more accessible, and less intimidating.

I belief mathematical endeavors are human endeavors, and they should be pursued in accordance with the axioms of Professor Federico Ardila:

Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

During the academic year 2023 – 2024 I am excited to be a Project NExT fellow in the Green23 cohort!  This is a is a professional development program for new or recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences.
