Philosophy and Experience:
As a mathematics instructor, I endeavor to show my students that mathematics is a beautiful, interesting, and fun subject. I believe that a great teacher is always adapting and evolving as they gain experience. As a graduate student, the biggest influences on my teaching have been my students, the knowledge I have obtained about math pedagogy while participating in the
RUME program at OU, and the teaching workshops that I have attended from the
Center For Faculty Excellence. For my participation in the RUME program, I am proud to have been awarded the departmental
endorsement for teaching undergraduate mathematics. I have also obtained the
highest level of achievement from the Center For Faculty Excellence for attending various teaching workshops. At OU I have taught a variety of courses, including college algebra, precalculus/trigonometry, single and multivariable calculus, and business calculus (see below). Each semester I look forward to teaching, and hope that my students enjoy taking my courses as much as I enjoy teaching them!

Here are some typed
notes for a lesson I taught on some basic number theory and mathematical induction when I substituted for Dr. David Plaxco’s Discrete Math course during Summer 2017.
