Outreach and Teaching
Teaching and mentoring are very important to me. Here are a few of the organizations I have been involved with.
|
I was a mentor for the MIT PRIMES Circle. I taught graph theory during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years.
|
|
I was a research mentor for the Research Science Institute (RSI) during the summer of 2022. I supervised a
project in number theory.
|
|
I was a teaching assistant at Euler Circle. I have assisted in the Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra classes, and Proofs from the BOOK classes.
|
|
I was the president of MIT's Undergraduate Society of Women in Mathematics (USWIM) for the 2022-2023 academic year.

I am one of the founders of the Virtual San Diego Math Circle, or vSDMC. We created a virtual math circle experience for students in the Greater San Diego area in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also organized the Virtual San Diego Math League, or vSDML, in the fall of 2020. Please see below for some teaching samples.
