Memberships

SEISMIC STEM Equity Learning Community — Indiana University, Bloomington    May 2023 - August 2024
STEM Equity Learning Communities (SELCs) were developed as part of a multi-institutional research collaboration, SEISMIC, focused on creating equitable and inclusive introductory STEM courses.

Mathematics General Education Committee — Indiana University, Bloomington    August 2022 - present
As a course coordinator for the introductory M014 and M018 courses, I am a member of the Mathematics GEC. I have also had the opportunity to work with other instructors of M118 as part of this group.

ICTM State Contest Exam Co-Author — Indiana University, Bloomington     Spring 2023 and 2024
Worked as part of a team of two faculty and two graduate students that wrote the Pre-Algebra Exam for the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics State Contest.

Faculty Equity Learning Community — Indiana University, Bloomington    August 2024 - present
STEM Equity Learning Community: Creating More Equitable Large STEM Classes Using Course Data. In this community we develop the skills to have equity-minded discussions about large, introductory STEM courses and analyze course equity reports for the courses taught by instructors in this group. By combining quantitative with qualitative data from our students, we will plan approaches for transforming introductory STEM courses into equitable learning environment.

Career Connections Fellowship - College of Arts + Sciences - Indiana University, Bloomington     Spring 2023
The Career Connections Fellowship intended to help faculty make their students more aware that what they are learning in the classroom will be of great use to them in post-college careers. The fellowship is designed to offer long-term faculty the opportunity to workshop -- in a cohort setting -- a course that they already teach or would like to teach, paying special attention to elevating the awareness of how what they teach reaches beyond strictly academic settings. On the most basic level, the Career Connections Fellowship is designed to aid faculty in helping their students better recognize the far-reaching value of what they are being taught. 

Presentations

Celebration of Teaching 2024 – Indiana University, Bloomington
The Faculty Academy for Excellence in Teaching (FACET) and the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) hosted a Celebration of Teaching on October 4, 2024, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm in the Indiana Memorial Union Alumni Hall. This event showcased IUB’s commitment to student success and the evidence-based teaching that supports it. The day included poster sessions, ignite talks (5-minute poster-preview presentations), and a lunchtime panel of award-winning instructors. I submitted a proposal and was selected to present a poster during the event. Poster Title - Supporting Student Success in Math J010: Incorporation of Scaffolded Notes and Homework.
