About me:
2026-27 is my 5th year as a high school teacher and my first year at Ascent. I am excited to be part of the upper school teaching team here at Ascent. I plan to continue to bring rigor and wonder to the study of math. A sound understanding of mathematics will continue to be an important piece of the education of young scholars.
My background is in mathematics and data science. I spent some years as a biosciences researcher at Anschutz campus prior to my current career. I am still interested in pure mathematics, things like elliptic curves and combinatorics, but much of my time now is spent with the chess club and the MathCounts (middle school math contests) group. Contact me if you'd like to talk about either one.
