Teaching

I received a University of Virginia Math Department Graduate Teaching Award for both AY2022-2023 and AY2023-2024.

I was also a facilitator for Teaching as a Graduate Student,  an orientation workshop for all students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Experience as Instructor of Record

• Linear Algebra and Differential Equations for Engineers, The Ohio State University, Spring 2026.

• Linear Algebra, The Ohio State University, Fall 2025.

• Calculus 1, University of Virginia, Spring 2024: coordinated, with monthly opportunities to prepare my own in-class activities.

• Intro to Financial Mathematics, University of Virginia, Fall 2022I created my own assignments, assessments, and lesson plans, with an emphasis on active learning.

• Survey of Calculus 1, University of Virginia, Fall 2021, coordinated.

Experience as Teaching Assistant

• Survey of Calculus 1 with Algebra, University of Virginia, Spring 2021.

• Transition to Higher Mathematics, University of Virginia, Fall 2020. 

Research Mentorship

• I was a mentor for a group of four undergraduates doing research in knot theory, which began during the Summer 2024 UVA Topology REU. 

• In the Summer of 2022 I mentored a group of four students who developed a version of persistent homology to detect symmetry in datasets, also as part of the UVA Topology REU.

• In the Spring of 2022 I mentored Faith Ellis as she completed a Directed Reading Program (DRP) on Seifert surfaces. In the Fall of 2021 I mentored Donovan Cates, whose DRP focused on Wirtinger presentations of knot groups.

Other Professional Development

• In October 2025 I completed the Course Design Institute through the Ohio State Drake Center for Teaching and Learning. As part of this workshop, I developed a plan for an introductory undergraduate course in Topological Data Analysis.

• I have completed Tier 1 of the Tomorrow's Professors Today program offered by the Center for Teaching Excellence at UVA. This involved trainings in inclusive pedagogy, accommodating students with disabilities, teaching in times of crisis, and effectively facilitating groupwork.

• I have completed an online course on Teaching in a World with Generative AI at the University of Virginia.

• In the Fall of 2023 I was selected to attend the Bucknell University Aspiring PUI Faculty Workshop.

• I began learning about inclusive pedagogy and principles of universal design as an undergraduate, when I was working as an Outside Workshop Learning Session Leader and Quantitative Skills Tutor for Oberlin CLEAR.
