Teaching

In Fall 2026, I am teaching one section of Linear Algebra (Math 245) and two sections of Calculus I (Math 201).

At Wesleyan, I taught Calculus I and Elementary Statistics. I was also a Graduate Teaching Assistant for several courses and worked in the Math Workshop.

Mentorship

In Summer 2026, Jeff Hatley and I co-led a project as part of Rethinking Number Theory (RNT7). Our work culminated in a paper titled ‘‘Distinguishing Elliptic Curves Modulo p and Identifying Images of Product Representations’’ (see here)!

In Spring 2025, I presented a mini-course on mathematical cryptology at SWiM@Wes 2025 and served as a project assistant at Arithmetic Geometry at UNT.

Additionally, while at Wesleyan, I ran several mentorship projects as part of the Directed Reading Program.

Service

While at Wesleyan, I was a co-organizer of the Directed Reading Program (Spring 2023–Spring 2025) and the Graduate Student Seminar (Spring 2022–Fall 2023).

I also served as President (Fall 2023–Spring 2025) and Vice President (Fall 2021–Spring 2023) of Wesleyan’s AMS Graduate Student Chapter.
