I love talking about mathematics...Whether I am talking to experts or to curious middle-schoolers, I truly enjoy getting an audience interested in mathematics. I believe that mathematics is not just an important subject.
It is also a social justice lever. Expanding participation in the mathematical sciences through advocacy and mentoring is a passion of mine. |
In 2019, I co-edited a book of essays Living Proof: Stories of Resilience Along the Mathematical Journey.
In the book, mathematicians share about an obstacle in mathematics that they faced but overcame. Some people shared their struggles with content, while others talked about issues of inclusion and belonging.
The book is available for free download or purchase.

Below, you can watch a video of my talk at the 2017 National Math Festival in Washington, D.C. This was a public lecture on how linear algebra is used in the Pagerank algorithm.
