Teaching and Educational Experience

• (2021–present) Sam Houston State University. Visiting Assistant Professor. I taught undergraduate classes at a variety of levels.

• (2018–2021) University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Temporary Assistant Professor. As part of my duties I taught classes ranging from freshman calculus to graduate-level.

• (2017–2018) Bronx Community College, CUNY. Quantitative reasoning fellow. In this interdisciplinary program I partnered with non-mathematics faculty to promote the teaching of quantitative reasoning and the use of mathematics across the curriculum.

• (2013–2017) Brooklyn College, CUNY. Graduate teaching fellow and lecturer. I was instructor of record for my classes, mainly calculus and precalculus. My final year at Brooklyn College I taught classes in their Brooklyn College Academy program, an early college program where high school juniors and seniors take college classes for credit.
