Writing

I see a large part of my work in education as helping my students achieve socioeconomic mobility. Since my early childhood, I've had a fixation on financial stability, so I've spent thousands of hours learning about every financial system I could: credit/debt, the stock market, retirement savings, and budgeting tools. In particular, I love connecting these ideas to mathematics, as I personally see math in every aspect of my day-to-day life, and want us all to be able to do so (because it's such a powerful and flexible tool! Never mind the fact that it's also a beautiful and expressive art form [huh?]) 

For the first half of my undergraduate studies, I had no idea what graduate school was. My personal experience 

In this blog series, I focus on what STEM graduate students (working on an MS, MA, or PhD) can do during their grad program in order to be more competitive applicants for full-time community college positions.

• Surviving Graduate School for Teaching-Oriented Grads

• Masters or PhD? Does it matter for CC teaching? (finances, experience for job market/interviews, etc.)

• Common Misconception: Full-Time, Tenure-Track Community College Professor positions are “easier” to get than TT positions at 4 year universities. (this is not the case! We are looking for a different skill set!)
