REU Graduate Assistant

In the summer of 2019 I was the graduate assistant for a group of four undergraduate students studying connections between combinatorics, graph theory, and category theory. Specifically, they studied Fuss-Catalan numbers and action graphs that are related to equivariant trees of algebraic topology.

Curriculum Development

College Algebra (Spring 2018)

Developed function-based curriculum to create an adaptive learning-based course, which included writing content, collaborating with administrators and technology staff, and selecting, organizing, and creating assessments.

Applied Calculus (Summer-Fall 2017)

Created tools to aid Teaching Assistants for this course. I designed group work and offered options for student engagement in the classroom by expanding the lecture resources in order to support inexperienced instructors.
