Teaching & Service

 I am committed to and proud of the service I do for the  math community. It is a goal of mine to improve the graduate student experience in the field. I ultimately aim to do this through improving and facilitating access to research mathematics for any student who wants to be here, in particular students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Here are some projects I have been previously involved in:

I co-organized the Midwest Topology Seminar in spring 2026. 

I co-organized an undergraduate summer Topology program at MSU in summer 2024.

I co-organized the Michigan State Topology Seminar from 2024-2026.

I helped to support the Atlanta Undergrad Research Mathematics Seminar from 2021-2023.

I co-organized the Floer Homotopy program student seminar at MSRI/SLMath in Fall 2022. 

I co-organized the 2022 Graduate Student Topology & Geometry Conference, which was held at Georgia Tech in April 2022.

During the 2020-2021 academic year I served as the Graduate Student Representative to the SoM Graduate Committee. This position also involved chairing the SoM Grad Student Council.

In the Spring & Fall 2019 semesters I was an instructor in the Emory Math Circle. You can go here to learn more about the mission of math circles and to find one in your community.

I co-organized the Geometry Topology Student Seminar at Georgia Tech from 2019-2021. 

From 2018-2021 I served on the board of our department student chapter of AWM. I am more broadly interested in building community for all gender minorities in mathematics. 

 During the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2022-2023 academic years I was supported by an NSF graduate research fellowship.

My experience as an instructor of a course includes:

Spring 2026 Quantitative Literacy (MSU)

Spring 2025 Honors Linear Algebra (MSU)

Fall 2024 Transitions to Adv. Mathematics (MSU)

Summer 2024 Knot theory mini-course, RTG REU (MSU)

Spring 2024 Transitions to Adv. Mathematics (MSU)

Fall 2023 College Algebra

Spring 2022 Instructor of Record, MATH1711 Finite Mathematics (GT)

My experience as a TA includes:

Fall 2017 TA; MATH1552 Integral Calculus, 2 sections (GT)

Spring 2018 TA; MATH1552 Integral Calculus, 2 sections (GT)

Summer 2018 TA; MATH1712 Survey of Calculus, 1 section (GT)

Fall 2018 TA; MATH1551 Differential Calculus, 2 sections (GT)

Spring 2019 TA; MATH2551 Multivariable Calculus, 2 sections (GT)

Summer 2020 Georgia Tech math REU TA (GT)

Fall 2021 TA; MATH1712 Survey of Calculus, 2 sections (GT)

My teaching philosophy closely aligns with Federico Ardila's axioms:

Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among 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.
