My primary career goal is to obtain a tenure track position in mathematics which focuses on undergraduate education. I love teaching subjects that align with my research interests, such as linear algebra, differential equations, and functional analysis. I am also passionate about undergraduate research. I hope to join a department where I may help to develop curriculum and promote undergraduate scholarship.
