Teaching
I want students to see mathematics as a language for asking precise questions—not only a collection of techniques. In the classroom, I connect algebraic, geometric, and computational views so that students can test intuition, explain reasoning, and build durable problem-solving habits.
Instructor of record
Fall 2022MATH 1271 · Calculus I
University of Minnesota
I led the course and organized instruction around multiple representations of core ideas: a derivative as a rate, a local linear model, and a geometric object; an integral as accumulation as well as area. My aim was to make the logic behind each method visible and give students structured practice communicating it.

Advanced-course support
Approach
Three commitments in the classroom
Make reasoning visible
Model how experts move from a question to a representation, a method, and a check.
Use computation purposefully
Treat code and visualization as tools for forming and testing mathematical conjectures.
Build an inclusive path in
Create multiple entry points to difficult material and normalize revision as part of learning.
