Mathematical Outreach
Mission
I have been the extraordinary recipient of the love, care and grace from teachers Pre-K thru grad school. Through their mentoring, I have not only learned technical knowledge, but seen how that knowledge can access a fuller understanding of the world. They have included me as a full member in our common cultural and technically heritage. I aim to follow their model.
