I am a professor of mathematics at a research university, with experience teaching a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses. I am enthusiastic about clearly explaining mathematics (from calculus to my research in algebraic geometry) to a broad audience. I regularly use active learning and mastery-based approaches in my teaching, and I frequently work one-on-one with students in office hours.

I am a professor of mathematics at a research university, with experience teaching a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses. I am enthusiastic about clearly explaining mathematics (from calculus to my research in algebraic geometry) to a broad audience. I regularly use active learning and mastery-based approaches in my teaching, and I frequently work one-on-one with students in office hours.
My training includes bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley. During my graduate and postdoctoral studies, I served as a teaching assistant and instructor leading recitations and office hours for a variety of courses. Since beginning my tenure-track position in 2018, I have taught continuously and mentored college students at all levels.
I am particularly well-suited to tutor advanced topics like abstract algebra, linear algebra, and modern analysis, including proof-based courses. I have also taught and tutored all levels of calculus, discrete math, and number theory, and I work effectively with students transitioning from more computational courses to ones that emphasize proofs and mathematical reasoning. In addition, I can provide coaching for competition-level math and preparation for standardized exams such as SAT Math, AP Calculus or GRE Math Subject Test. My goal is always to give students the tools to engage new mathematical challenges with clarity and confidence.
