Overview
I am an Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Statistical Science. I primarily work on innovative and inclusive course design and curriculum development for undergraduate statistics and data science courses, with a focus on the “second course”. My research focuses on understanding the impact of identity and classroom environment on students’ sense of belonging in introductory math and statistics courses, with the aim of identifying pedagogical practices that foster community and supportive learning environments.
Office Hours
My office hours are posted in Canvas for each course I teach. You may also email me to schedule a time meet.
