During my time in Santa Cruz, I attempted to engage with the broader community through the following activities.
I served as a co-director for the Project for Inmate Education (PIE) from July 2023 to August 2025. At PIE, we teach incarcerated persons courses on Pre-algebra, College algebra and Introduction to Astronomy at the Santa Cruz Main Jail.
- I was an active instructor with the Math Student Circle in Santa Cruz, held at Cabrillo College. I lead activities on Cryptography, Eulerian Circuits and the Four Colour Theorem.
- I was an active participant of the Math Teachers’ Circle at Santa Cruz, where I lead sessions on Gerrymandering.
I organised and assumed the following roles in service of supporting the mathematics community at UCSC.
From July 2022 to June 2025, I served as a Head TA (now Teaching support and Administrative Coordinator) in the Mathematics Department, where we assisted the department in supporting Graduate Teaching Assistants.
I helped co-found and co-organised the Math Department Peer Support Program since August 2021 until June 2025. The program supports first-year graduate students in navigating the department and program milestones.
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, an online program inspired by DRP.

- I served as a study leader for the Prelim Study Sessions, where we supported graduate students preparing for the departmental preliminary exams. I served as a leader for all three subjects: Algebra (Winter 2025, Spring 2024, Summer 2023), Analysis (Spring 2025, Winter 2022, Summer 2022) and Geometry (Winter 2022, Summer 2022).
- I supported the organising of EmpowHER Hour, an AWM initiative (Spring 2022 - Spring 2023). This was a space where graduate students got together to hold meaningful discussions about gender equity in academia, and how one can help build a more inclusive mathematical community.
- I served as one of the founding Graduate Student representative on the Mathematics Department DEI Committee from Fall 2020 - Spring 2022.
- During COVID, I hosted and lead the Mathematics Department GSI Support sessions to create a space for peer support amongst the Graduate Student Instructors, from Feb - Aug 2021.
