I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin, where teaching was central to my graduate training. I was a Teaching Assistant for five semesters, covering Calculus 2 and 3, linear algebra, and abstract algebra, and an Assistant Instructor of record for two semesters, earning the Frank Gerth III Teaching Excellence Award. I ran discussion sections, held office hours, wrote and graded assessments, and worked with students to diagnose where their understanding broke down, adapting to different backgrounds and paces. I also led large-format calculus review sessions through UT's Sanger Learning Center, covering Calculus 1 and 2 for groups preparing for exams.
I spent five years as a mentor in UT Austin's Directed Reading Program, working one-on-one with a different undergraduate each term on an independent project. Topics included integer partitions, topological data analysis, tochastic processes, neural networks, and geometric properties of groups, with pacing tailored to each student's background and goals. One summer, I developed and led a probability bootcamp preparing graduate students for the department's Ph.D. qualifying exam, covering graduate-level material from measure-theoretic foundations through discrete-time martingale theory.
I spent three semesters coordinating the Sunday Morning Math Group, a math outreach program for middle and high school students, designing and leading inquiry-based sessions built around puzzles across a range of mathematical topics, building toward accompanying guest talks from visiting mathematicians.
Across these roles, I have several years of experience teaching mathematics in classroom, small-group, and one-on-one settings, with particular strength in calculus, linear algebra, probability, and abstract/proof-based mathematics. I'm open to working with college students at all levels and with bright middle/high schoolers looking to explore math beyond what's taught in the typical classroom.
