Teaching & Mentoring

Teaching

• Instructor of Record, ENGR 108: Introduction to Matrix Methods

  In summer 2024, I taught my own course as instructor of record! I had the pleasure to teach ENGR 108: Introduction to Matrix Methods, an upper-level undergraduate course in applied linear algebra. Throughout the summer, we learned foundational topics in linear algebra for computation, building up to least-squares model fitting. Along the way, we also practiced implementing what we learned in Python.

• Stanford Summer Engineering Academy

  In spring/summer 2023, I prepared and taught a four-week inquiry-oriented linear algebra course for Stanford Summer Engineering Academy, a four-week summer bridge program attended by first-generation/low-income and underrepresented incoming freshmen.

• Graduate Teaching Assistantships

  DATASCI 112, Introduction to Data Science, Winter 2024 ENGR 108, Introduction to Matrix Methods, Fall 2023

• Stanford Carpentries

  I teach and assist with workshops on programming in Python and R via the Stanford Carpentries, and hold a teaching certification from the international Carpentries network.

• Center for Teaching and Learning

  I served as an Engineering Learning Consultant in Stanford’s Center for Teaching and Learning from 2022-2024. In this role I helped develop workshops on data visualization and LaTeX. I also taught as a co-instructor for a scientific Python bootcamp offered to visiting students in the Stanford Equity & Inclusion Office’s summer programs.

• Stanford Climbing Wall

  I taught belay classes, clinics, and quarter-long introductory courses at the Stanford Climbing Wall.

• Additional Calculus for Engineers

  In Fall 2021, I held drop-in help hours for students enrolled in CME 102, Ordinary Differential Equations for Engineers, via Stanford’s Additional Calculus for Engineers program.

• BEAM Summer Away

  In July 2020, I served as a counselor and teaching assistant for BEAM Summer Away (online due to COVID), a program aimed at helping students from underserved and underrepresented backgrounds gain the resources necessary to succeed mathematically. I assisted with courses on number theory and projective planes, and led activities and check-ins with the students.

• Undergraduate Teaching Assistant Positions

  In my work as an undergrad TA, I’ve taught section, graded HW/exams, and held office hours for the following courses:

• Calculus III (AS.110.202): Fall 2019
• Systems and Controls (EN.580.222): Spring 2019, Spring 2020
• Differential Equations and Applications (AS.110.302): Fall 2018, Spring 2019, Spring 2020

I am very proud to have received awards for my undergrad teaching from both the BME and mathematics departments.

Mentoring

I serve as a mentor for undergraduate students and prospective graduate students via Project SHORT, JHU Womxn Mentoring Whiting, Stanford SWIMM, and the Stanford WCC STEM Program.

Many thanks to my own mentors, who have shaped my experience in academia for the better.
