Some grad students and I joined UCR's STEAM Academy for two hour-long sessions in Summer 2024 leading middle schoolers through hands-on math projects.
The UCR AWM chapter and I started working with the SISTERS program at UCR to teach 7th and 8th grade girls fun mathematics.

At the University of Maryland, I participated in Girls Talk Math, a two-week day camp for local high school girls. The campers spend the time on two related projects: working in groups through a packet on advanced material and researching and recording a podcast on a female mathematician.
I was also a volunteer with Reading Partners, reading one-on-one with K-4th grade students at MLK elementary school in Washington, DC.
