Mathematics Continued Conference

I co-founded the Mathematics Continued Conference a research conference for undergraduates hosted annually at the University of Connecticut.   I also co-organized the first and second conferences, which took place on November 9th, 2019 and  October 24, 2020, respectively.    The most recent Mathematics Continued Conference took place on October 23, 2021.

Teaching-related Workshops and Activities

I love teaching, and am always looking for ways to develop my skills as an educator! In addition to minoring in educational studies as an undergraduate, I participated in the following.

• Pedagogy coursework at the University of Connecticut

  • Fundamentals in Teaching and Learning

  • Intercultural Competence and Mathematics Education 

• SIMIODE MINDE Workshop Summer 2021

• Project NExT 2021-2022

I recently gave my first conference talk related to teaching practices.

• M&M Attrition Warfare, SIMIODE Expo (Virtual) February 10, 2022 (joint presentation with Kyle Allaire, Justin Trulen, and Li Zhang)

I also participated in the AWM Aligning Actions at Crossroads Workshop in June 2022.

In January 2023, I organized an AMS Special Session on incorporating modeling into Differential Equations course.   I then presented on how to organize a Special Session at the SIMIODE Expo in February 2023.

I try to read at least one book related to pedagogy and academia during each school break.
