Education and Credentials
My overall goal is to empower everyone to understand the beauty and accessibility of mathematics. It is all around us and something we do every day. I want people everywhere to understand that they are math people because every day, they demonstrate their ability to do math, know math, and make sense of math as they go about their lives.
