I am an undergraduate mathematics education researcher focused on how students and instructors engage in mathematical practices such as defining, conjecturing, and proving. I teach undergraduate mathematics courses at Lyman Briggs College and also work with doctoral students in the Program in Mathematics Education. Through both my teaching and research, I aim to support meaningful engagement in mathematical practices—emphasizing that learning mathematics should be a creative and collaborative endeavor. If you stop by my classroom, you’ll likely find students talking with one another while working at the board as I move around the room inquiring into each group’s thinking. I strive to foster a welcoming, supportive environment—many students describe feeling “accepted,” “curious,” and “valued” in our shared space. When you’re in my class, I care deeply about you—not just supporting you to earn the grade you desire, but also how you feel in our class and how you see yourself as someone who does mathematics. I want you to feel confident and heard, and I’m always learning from your thinking and perspective as we work together to make our mathematical space truly ours.
