Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Mathematics Department and the Director of the ASCEND program, which is the summer online program for the incoming first years. I work primarily in digital resource development and mathematical pedagogy. In the past few years, I have helped create both the Summer Online Calculus III and Introduction to Linear Algebra and Differential Equations courses. I enjoy implementing digital materials and alternative teaching practices and plans to further research the impact of these non-traditional teaching methodologies to enhance student learning.

As a mission hire with the deNicola Center for Ethics and Culture, I work to support the Catholic mission of the University through my research and teaching. I hope my research in pedagogy can be used to address injustice and create an environment where all students can thrive. Before teaching any class, I reflect on the words of Blessed Basil Moreau, "the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart."

My mathematical research interest is in the mathematics of quantum mechanics, specifically Segal-Bargmann Space and relationships with the different types of Segal-Bargmann transforms.
