Biography

I joined the faculty at Hood in 2007, after spending a year as an NSF VIGRE postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland. I completed my Ph.D. in 2006, writing a dissertation on the existence of solutions to the wave equation on a waveguide. My ongoing research interests are the scholarship of teaching and learning and mentoring students in undergraduate research in mathematical modeling.

I recently served as a co-principal investigator on Hood College’s Noyce STEM Teacher Education Partnership (NSTEP), which was funded by NSF-DUE 1660640 during 2017-2024. NSTEP provided scholarships for students majoring in biology, chemistry, or mathematics who plan to be secondary education teachers after graduation. I am a Project NExT Fellow and a member of the Mathematical Association of America. In addition, I am currently an associate editor on the editorial board for the MAA’s Spectrum book series.
