Teaching

“In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have.” — Lee Iacocca

Teaching is an integral part of my academic identity, and one of my greatest passions that I have been able to pursue as an undergraduate student. My philosophy is that good teaching is like writing a good book, wherein you should know your audience, tell a compelling story, and leave something that lasts. By serving as a teaching assistant for a wide variety of courses, I have learned to slow down and meet students where they are, treat teaching as a genuine two-way intellectual exchange, and make abstract mathematics tangible for students encountering it for the first time. You can find my teaching statement and comments from the courses I have served as a TA for. My full teaching portfolio can be made available upon request.

Here is the list of classes (UG = undergraduate, G = graduate) I have served as a teaching assistant for, where (*) denotes classes I have served as the head teaching assistant for. I also had the pleasure of being the instructor of record for an undergraduate class on high-dimensional probability, for which the syllabus is attached.
