Teaching

I am a researcher–educator who is passionate about innovating science and mathematics education at all levels. If a majority of U.S. adults think that “STEM subjects are too hard”, then it is not they but us educators who have to work harder.

At UC Berkeley, I have worked as a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) for the following courses, leading weekly discussion sections with class sizes ranging from 18 to 70 students.

In my first year at Berkeley, my work in the physics classroom was recognized with the Outstanding GSI Award. Since Fall 2025, I sometimes run workshops for first-time GSIs at Berkeley, and additionally work with the K–12 teacher education program CalTeach.
