Ten (no, eleven!) projects I am particularly excited about...


  1. Creativity Counts. A museum exhibit I organized at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
  2. Seattle Universal Math Museum.  Serving on the Advisory Board since 2021.
  3. Math and the Creative Process.  Created this course (and resources) to introduce undergraduates to aspects of research early in their education.
  4. Improv Workshops. Designing workshops to introduce principles of improv(isational theater) for engaging students and building community in the classroom and beyond.
  5. Scavenger Hunt. Designed for students in my Mathematical Methods in Cryptography course.
  6. Arizona Winter School.  Lectured in 2022.  Published manuscript and completed research project in 2024.
  7. Distinguished Lectures for Undergraduates. Created this series to share a creative side of math.
  8. Math Club.  Served as faculty supervisor from its formation in 2018 until 2022.
  9. Letters to a Prescientist. Loved participating in this penpal program that connects STEM professionals and students in low-income schools.
  10. APAW. Organized this graduate instructional workshop and collaborative research workshop to facilitate diverse collaborations.
  11. AWM Reading Room. Created to share resources with women and members of other underrepresented groups in mathematics.
