- Improv Workshops. Designing workshops to introduce principles of improv(isational theater) for engaging students and building community in the classroom and beyond.
- Scavenger Hunt. Designed for students in my Mathematical Methods in Cryptography course.
- Arizona Winter School. Lectured in 2022. Published manuscript and completed research project in 2024.
- Distinguished Lectures for Undergraduates. Created this series to share a creative side of math.
- Math Club. Served as faculty supervisor from its formation in 2018 until 2022.
- Letters to a Prescientist. Loved participating in this penpal program that connects STEM professionals and students in low-income schools.
