      While a graduate student, I worked as a lecturer at the University of Chicago teaching the 150's and 190's sequences, which cover first year calculus and multivariable calculus/linear algebra respectively. While these courses emphasize computational skills, proofs were assigned weekly and problem solving skills were honed over the term.
    • Mentoring

      I also have mentored several undergraduate students through the University of Chicago Directed Reading Program.

      I have overseen other mentors and mentored many students through the VIGRE Summer Program. This is a great program for a University of Chicago math undergraduate who would like to learn some more math (including some fun topics) over the summer.

      I have done some volunteer tutoring of underprivileged students in the southside of Chicago with the Woodlawn afterschool program (WASKP).
