Teaching

My strong foundation in traditional lecture formats and ability to pique students' mathematical interest has led to a history of stellar evaluations. After participating in Project NExT '24, I have enhanced my teaching style by integrating more active learning strategies and adopting some alternate grading methods. In particular, I have begun making manimations of theoretical aspects of mathematics - you may view a demonstration of Manim here. These changes aim to further engage my students and support deeper understanding in undergraduate mathematics courses.
