I have taught various courses at Penn State, including on Multivariable Calculus, Game Theory, and even Sustainability!

My Courses and Projects

I have dedicated pages for each of the courses I’ve taught, as well as the accessibility-related coding project I worked on for Penn State:

Teaching Experience

As of October 2023, I now possess the Penn State Mathematics Department’s Teaching Associate Status, which reflects a distinguished completion of my graduate teaching assistant training program and for having shown a record of successful classroom teaching.

I have taught 7 sections of MATH 033 as the principal instructor; 2 sections of MATH 033 as a co-instructor; 1 section of MATH 230 as the principal instructor; 1 section of MATH 486 as a co-instructor; and 2 sections of MATH 486 as the teaching assistant.

I’m quoted in the following article on MATH 033: Mathematics for Sustainability.

I have also worked with Dr. Jan Reimann and other graduate students in creating a new, open-source suite of projects to make math education at Penn State more accessible and affordable using HTML, Jupyter, and Python. You can read more about this project here.

Recognition

I’ve received:

  • The 2023-2024 Department of Mathematics Charles H. Hoover Memorial Award in recognition of outstanding undergraduate teaching by a graduate teaching assistant.
  • The 2021-2022 Department of Mathematics Teaching Award through the Penn State Math Department (more specifically, the Robert and Betsy Wilson Endowed Scholarship).

Resources for Students

Students across my MATH 033 sections from 2021-2024 collectively built this list of resources available to students dealing with housing, food, clothing, transportation, funding, or health insecurities in the State College area. Feel free to distribute.

I aim to provide a safe space for all students of all races, abilities, sexual & romantic orientations, genders, religions, ages, nationalities, and ideologies.

English as a Second Language

I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) while volunteering in the State College area to native Spanish speakers through the Mid-State Literacy Council. I did this for over three years, or six semesters.
