Hello!
Hello!
My name is Marcelo Almora Rios. I am a first-generation, Peruvian-born college student.
I graduated from Harvey Mudd College in December 2020 (B.S. Mathematics) and The University of Montana in December 2022 (M.A. Mathematics). Currently I am a Ph.D. student in the Higher Education and Organizational Change division of UCLA's School of Education and Information Sciences. My research interests include mathematics education, positive psychology, and educational policy.
I am a 2023 NSF Graduate Research Fellow and a 2020 Latinos in Technology Scholar (Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley). I've contributed to work in mathematics education policy as a Research Fellow at Just Equations, and designed curricula and problem generators as a Math Specialist for SKIES Learn. In my off-time, I am a private teacher, and enjoy reading and pondering things. You can check out my C.V. here.
My semi-permanent residence right now is in Morgan Hill, California. You can find out more about me by clicking on the headers above.
