Teaching
Being good at math is being good at being stuck…and thinking ‘okay, what’s the next step?’ —Courtney Gibbons, So, you think you’re bad at math?
I believe teaching is an integral part of being an academic and a mathematician. As an educator, I am committed to creating welcoming environments where all students, regardless of background or major, can engage meaningfully with mathematics.
Previous Teaching
University of Pennsylvania
In Summer 2025, I taught Math 3120: Linear Algebra. I was a grader/TA for the following courses:
- Math 3700: Algebra, taught by Prof. Angela Gibney (Spring 2026)
- Math 6180: Algebraic Topology, taught by Prof. Nir Gadish (Fall 2025)
- MATH 2600: Honors Calculus II, taught by Prof. Herman Gluck (Spring 2023)
- MATH 3700: Algebra, taught by Prof. Sveta Makarova (Fall 2022)
I also helped coordinate teacher trainings for the math department between 2023-2026 and was a teaching fellow at the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Innovation in 2023-2024.
Prison teaching
I’ve volunteered with different prison teaching programs, especially Princeton’s Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI), to offer college-accredited courses to incarcerated people. I was part of a teaching team for the following courses:
- Math in the Courtroom workshop at State Correctional Institute, Chester (Spring 2026)
- MATH-015: Beginning Mathematics at the South Woods State Prison (Fall 2024)
- MATH-015: Beginning Mathematics at the South Woods State Prison (Spring 2022)
- MATH-015: Beginning Mathematics at the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility (Fall 2021)
I also tutored (math) at South Woods State Prison for a few semesters between 2022-2026. I was a graduate fellow for PTI in 2024-2025.
Reed College
I was the course assistant for Math 202: Vector Calculus (taught by Prof. Jerry Shurman) and I tutored for a variety of math and philosophy classes through the Office of Academic Support.
