Biography
My educational focus has developed as an approach to increase student achievement in mathematics learning through adaptive techniques as an educator. During my undergraduate education, I observed and interacted with experimental instruction at a popular charter school under the mentorship of educators assigned through teaching fellowships. This experience displayed a strong need for more interactive, exploratory curricula for struggling mathematics students. As an educator, I strive to find ways to provide more effective lessons that evoke deeper conceptual understanding for my students.
