Teaching Statement

I am committed to developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of Mathematics in all of my students. It is important for students to be able to use Math to better understand issues of social justice, as well as use Math to help improve those issues. It is a top priority to me that my pre-service students come to see how important issues of equity are throughout all of their work, even (and especially) in Mathematics. I strive to support my students in becoming reflective practitioners, with the hope that they will work to do the same with their students.
