Learning Assistant

My time at UT Austin significantly changed my world views and allowed me to find my passion for the intersection of Mathematics and Education. From here, I have learned things that are imperative to a classroom from professors who have modeled teaching effortlessly.
​
UT Austin taught me a multitude of lessons but some of the most important remain to be to treat others with dignity, have empathy first, care enough to act, and strive to positively change the world.

The UTeach program opened me up to the field of Education. Throughout the program I have learned how to form meaningful learning experiences and relationships with my students. UTeach has shown me how important exploration before introducing content is because that is the way humans naturally learn. Above all else, UTeach taught me how to create a classroom culture where students feel included, safe and ready to learn.
