For Students

How I work

Students! This page is for you. If you're reading this, you should know that I'm here and I'm invested in your success.

Want to chat on Zoom?

Wondering what math majors do?

Want to do a research project with me?

  • Email me and let's talk! I love to think about problems that relate to the world of algebraic geometry. If you're looking for an introduction to this, I highly recommend Cox, Little, O'Shea's excellent textbook Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms.

Want me to write you a letter?

  • Use Ravi Vakil's guidelines to help me write the best letter I can.

Do you know about stereotype threat, imposter syndrome, and growth mindset?

  • Check out this short interview about stereotype threat with Claude Steele.

  • Here's an illustrated video about growth mindset, as explained by Carol Dweck. A few parts of this are directed more toward parents than students, but it's fun to watch and gets the point across!

  • Check out this short TED-Ed video about imposter syndrome.
