Service + Leadership

I am currently an Academic Co-Chair of the Graduate Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics at UIUC. The purpose of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences.

In my role I organize the Graduate Student Colloquium as well as the Teaching and Diversity Seminar. The goal of the Teaching and Diversity seminar is to promote discussion within our mathematics community about diversity and inclusion, and our shared responsibility as teachers to be critical and intentional in our interactions with students and colleagues. The seminar is a space where we can reflect on how issues of equity and justice impact mathematics teaching, learning, and research. We invite speakers from within the university as well as external speakers.
