I'm an educational psychologist and mathematics education researcher specializing in higher education. As a new faculty member in Fall ‘23, I was hired to help transform our foundational mathematics courses into ones that are more student-centered. As part of a team of instructors, we are working on refocusing these courses on problem solving, communication, collaboration, and sense-making in mathematics.

I spent the last five years at the University of Maine helping with a similar transformation project focused on precalculus. Before that, I was in charge of the math learning center at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and worked with preservice educators at Wright State University in Ohio. I was a math major at the University of Chicago before getting my cognitive science PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Originally from Cleveland, I love roller coasters and the cinema, and have pretty much given up trying to overcome my LEGO obsession.
