Personal experience and conversations with others have made me realize that many of our modern day students feel alone and forgotten in the classroom. I'd like to help students discover their identity as a learner and feel welcomed in the mathematics community.

How wonderful it is when a group of educators can learn together, and this collaboration, among teachers, faculty from the College of Education, and faculty from the College of Sciences, has been an extraordinary opportunity to learn from each other’s experience and perspective.

What inspired me to teach was having many exemplary chemistry teachers, from middle school through my PhD and postdoc years. With deep knowledge but humility, each conveyed their joy and enthusiasm for science and made learning fun.

The work of an educator is challenging, rewarding, and uniquely engaging. It is simultaneously highly academic and highly interpersonal and I am motivated by the connection I feel while working in community with students and teachers as they move toward greater understanding.
