Spring 2026 Ithaca High School Math Seminar:
In Spring 2026, I served as a facilitator for the Cornell and Ithaca High School Mathematics Seminar, where I co-developed (with Gabe Udell) a half-semester, active-learning curriculum on voting theory for high-achieving high school students. I facilitated class discussions two to three times each week and mentored students as they developed and presented their own research projects.

Fall 2025 Graduate Teaching Fellow MATH 1300:
In Fall 2025, I served as a Graduate Teaching Fellow for Cornell University and the National Education Equity Lab (NEON), supporting the online delivery of MATH 1300: Mathematical Explorations to high school students nationwide. I mentored undergraduate teaching assistants through formal training and ongoing classroom support. I also developed instructional materials and graded coursework.

Spring 2025 MATH2940 Course Review:
In Spring 2025, I served as a teaching assistant for MATH 2940: Linear Algebra for Engineers, where I led weekly recitation sections for approximately 25 students, held weekly office hours, and proctored quizzes and examinations. In addition, I created instructional materials and led a three-hour course review attended by approximately 200 students.

Teaching Seminar:
Since Fall 2021, I have participated in the Cornell Mathematics Teaching Seminar, a biweekly seminar focused on mathematics pedagogy, educational research, teaching history, and personal pedagogical development. I also facilitate discussions on selected topics in mathematics education approximately once a year.

Presentations for prospective and new graduate students:
From Fall 2024 through Fall 2025, I served as a TA Training Facilitator for the Cornell Mathematics Department, planning and facilitating workshops on effective teaching practices, including professionalism, grading, and leading recitations. I also twice co-led the department’s annual Teaching Warmup, an informal pedagogy discussion welcoming instructors at all stages of their teaching careers.
In addition, during the first few years of graduate school, I gave a yearly Zoom presentations for my former REU at the University of Texas at Tyler on graduate school, discussing both why students might pursue graduate study and how to navigate the process of applying.
