Teaching and communicating mathematics is an important part of my mathematical identity, and I value the impact that I have as an educator. It is for this reason that I am committed to anti-racist teaching - what this means to me is inclusive and equitable teaching that affirms and empowers students. If you're new to these ideas, send me an email - I'm happy to have a conversation with you!

Currently Teaching:

In Fall 2020, I am the Assistant Instructor for M 371E, Learning Assistant Experience in Mathematics. This course is a hands-on experience in what it is like to teach and support students in the learning of mathematics in undergraduate courses. Students attend classroom training and discussions and work in Calculus discussion sections or undergraduate classrooms where mathematics is being taught.

As part of this role, I also coordinate CalcLab, a program for students enrolled in calculus courses at UT the chance to work with classmates and receive help from TAs.

At UT Austin:

  • In Spring 2020, I was the Assistant Instructor for M 371E: Learning Assistant Experience in Mathematics.I also coordinated CalcLab, and transitioned it to an online resource during the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • In Fall 2018, I was the TA for UGS 303: From Numbers to Chaos.
  • In Spring 2018, I was a TA for M 408M (multivariable calculus).
  • In Fall 2017, I was an SI leader for M 408K (differential calculus).

At Rutgers University:

Reading Courses

I have also mentored 9 undergraduate reading projects on various topics in algebra, topology, and homotopy theory through the Directed Reading Program (DRP). If you're interested in doing a DRP project with me, send me an email!

I use inquiry-based learning techniques in my mentoring - you will soon find sample DRP project notes here and here.

Summer MiniCourses

Since Summer 2017, I have either taught or co-taught Summer Minicourses on homological algebra and/or spectral sequences. Each minicourse is a week of lectures and problem sessions, and they are designed to teach graduate and advanced undergraduate students tools, methods, or ideas that may be helpful in research-level mathematics.

For example, in Summer 2020, I co-taught the minicourse "Spectral Sequence Training Montage", with Arun Debray. I compiled this set of exercises, and created slides and video recordings, which you can find here.

Seminars and Workshops:

Throughout my career, I have participated in various seminars, workshops, and programs to continue to learn about teaching and education. I am also one of the graduate students currently working to improve TA support in the UT Austin math department.
