Throughout my academic journey, I’ve discovered that mathematics becomes most meaningful when shared with others. Moments of connection and growth fuel my passion for mathematics. I believe deeply in making mathematics more accessible and inclusive, which is why I’ve devoted so much time to outreach and service activities.

Experiences in Mathematics

I am a co-organiser for Experiences in Mathematics seminar series, since Spring 2024, where we invite mathematicians, in the broadest sense of the word, to come and discuss their experiences navigating the professional world as members of minoritised and underrepresented groups.

Project for Inmate Education

I serve as a co-director for the Project for Inmate Education (PIE) since July 2023. We teach incarcerated persons courses on Pre-algebra, College algebra and Introduction to Astronomy at the Santa Cruz Main Jail.

Head TA

Since July 2022, I have served as a Head TA (now Teaching support and Administrative Coordinator) in the Mathematics Department, where we assist the department in supporting Graduate Teaching Assistants.

Directed Reading Program

I was an organiser of the Directed Reading Program - where we pair undergraduates with graduate students to work on a reading project - from Fall 2021, when I helped restart the program after a brief hiatus during the pandemic, to March 2025. I have participated as a mentor myself several times, and you can view the interesting topics my mentees and I have worked on here. You will also find my mentees and the topics they worked on from my time with Twoples.

Math Dept Peer Support Program

I've been co-organising the Math Department Peer Support Program since August 2021 where we support first-year graduate students in navigating the department and program milestones.

Association for Women in Mathematics

I helped co-found the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Chapter with Jennier Guerrero in November 2020, and served as its president in AY 2022-23.
