I'm interested in providing talks, workshops, and trainings for departments, organizations, and companies. I'm able to speak on topics including but not limited to:
Inclusive and effective mathematics teaching practices
Supporting low-income, non-traditional, and first-generation students
Mathematics at Technical & Community colleges, mathematics in the trades, and supporting mathematics students transferring from Technical & Community colleges
Privilege, allyship, and advocacy in mathematics
Disability justice; accessibility, accommodations, and ableism in mathematics
LGBTQ+ competencies for mathematicians; inclusive practices for diverse sexual orientations/gender identities/expressions
Justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (JEDI/DEI) work within university departments
Community- and relationship-building, departmental culture and climate
I have written/co-written and organized the following departmental trainings and workshops:
Disability Identity and Accessibility in Mathematics (2024)
with Bryan Rusch
LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in Mathematics (2023)
with Kairi Black, Haley Qualls
My identit(ies) as a queer, disabled mathematician with a non-traditional educational/career path heavily inform my work. I am constantly attending talks and trainings and learning from others about their lived experiences. I previously served on the DEI committee in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University, where I spearheaded several initiatives.
My own formal training includes:
MathSafe Training
Mathematical Association of America
Restorative Justice and Bystander Training
Ada Gregory, Kenan Institute for Ethics
Racial Healing and Relationship Building
