I am math teacher at Lexington High School, where I have been teaching since the 2019-2020 school year. Prior to teaching in Lexington, I taught in private schools in the Boston area as well as a year in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I'm originally from Chicago, and I graduated from Boston College in 2011 with a B.A. in mathematics. I completed my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, also from Boston College, in 2013. I also hold a certificate in Python Programming from the University of California at San Diego.
I have been passionate about mathematics since I was in college, and it has been an opportunity for me to explore and view many problems with a unique lens. While I enjoy learning about all fields of mathematics, I have particular interests in probability and statistics, particularly in computer-intensive non-parametric analysis.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, learning about programming, and traveling. I was also formerly a competitive figure skater for nearly three decades, and I now support local and sectional-level figure skating clubs as a scoring official, system technician, judge, and referee. I currently live in Medford with my partner and our cat and dog.
From 2013-2024, I worked with MIT Introduction to Technology, Engineering, and Science (MITES) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I taught first and second semester calculus in the MITES Semester and MITES Summer programs, serving students from across the United States who are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). On the weekends, I served as an Academic Mentoring Instructor with the MITES Saturdays program, working with juniors from the Boston area on academic skills and college admissions. I also assisted other MITES Instructors as a Curriculum and Instruction Support Specialist, providing guidance and mentoring for instructors to design and implement new lessons and courses.
The MITES program has been incredibly impactful to thousands of students in helping them find their place in STEM, and I encourage all to support the program!
