Teaching is central to who I am. Across more than five years and two countries, I have taught mathematics to classes of 45–51 students — from algebra through calculus — and mentored K–12 scholars. I care about making abstract ideas concrete, building inclusive classrooms, and helping every student find the why behind the mathematics.
