I am co-organizing the Washington Directed Reading Program with Juan Salinas and Alexander Waugh. This program pairs interested undergraduate students with mathematics graduate student mentors to embark on a quarter-long independent reading project. I review mentor and mentee applications, decide project pairings, draft funding proposals and announcements, and coordinate program orientations, weekly seminars, and mid-quarter and final presentations. Previously, I had been a graduate mentor in the program multiple times and run the projects "Combinatorics and Graph Theory" and "Triangulations."
I am an instructor at the Husky Math Academy, a program based at the University of Washington that offers rigorous and challenging math classes for students in grades 7 - 9 who want to deepen their understanding of mathematics through problem solving. I facilitate weekly classroom discussions that cover topics beyond the standard school curriculum in algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and mathematical proof. I also design and implement classroom activities.
I was the Vice President of the MATH branch of the Association for Women in Mathematics Student Chapter at University of Washington. I helped rebooting the chapter after COVID and organized events such as quarterly speaker series, biweekly socializing hours, and end-of-quarter social mixers. The AWM at UW supports underrepresented groups in mathematics, particularly women and gender minorities. All UW-affiliates interested in our mission are welcome to join and attend our events!

I was a long-term volunteer for the Seattle Universal Math Museum project. From March 2022 to December 2023, I created more than 65 weekly "Math in Real Life" posts for SUMM's Instagram account. The mathematical knowledge in the posts was at the middle school level to inspire a younger and broader audience. I was featured in the Volunteer Spotlight in this SUMM Newsletter.
