Teaching

I began teaching in a Philadelphia summer credit-recovery program after undergrad and later spent two years as a middle school math teacher in New Haven, CT through Teach For America. During that time, I served as 8th Grade Chair and consulted on math curriculum for Achievement First. I love teaching and enjoy making quantitative and computational ideas accessible to a wide range of students.

I am fortunate to have been recognized with several teaching awards by the Harvard Kennedy School. While not confirmed, I believe I also hold the record for most courses taught as a teaching fellow at Harvard Kennedy School.
