I am very passionate about teaching mathematics and I aim to encourage engagement by using cooperative learning strategies and fostering a safe classroom environment. I participated in an OER project where we adopted and edited in PreTeXt an open educational resource textbook for the University of Connecticut's Business Calculus course. I am a MAA Project NExT Fellow (Orange '25).My research is focused on the Numerical Analysis of partial differential equations, specifically with the finite element method.As the daughter of Dominican parents and a first-generation student, I am deeply committed to supporting underrepresented groups in STEM. My goal is to foster an equitable and inclusive community while creating spaces where all voices can be heard and where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.I am a strong believer in the axioms laid out by Federico Ardila:Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
These statements should not sound revolutionary, and considering the current practices of the mathematical society, they are a pressing call to action.
