Hello, my name is Elizabeth, and I have always had a passion for mathematics education. This passion began at Linfield University in 2017, where I tutored mathematics courses and received a major in Mathematics and Secondary Education with licensure. Through my undergraduate studies, I learned about the history and philosophy of effecting teaching and began developing my pedagogy. I spent my senior year student-teaching full time at Amity High school in geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. Following Linfield, I received my Doctorate of Philosophy in Mathematics at Washington State University in Spring of 2026. Throughout my graduate studies, I honed in on my teaching philosophy, which involves the cycle of implementing collaborative instruction (i.e. a hybrid of lecture and group work), receiving anonymous feedback from students, and applying this feedback to introduce new methods of evidence-based instruction into my classroom. While attending Washington State University, I spent three years teaching college courses during graduate school, including calculus lectures and labs, trigonometry lectures, and algebra lectures. I also created educational video tutorials for the Washington State Data Exchange for public safety on mathematical and statistical analysis of police data. I plan to continue my growing passion for mathematics education as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Professor beginning this Fall of 2026.
