Summer Schools

Instructor at Tapia Camps (Summer 2026)

A summer camp introducing high school students across Texas to various STEM topics. Alongside Prof. Paul Hand (the Tapia Camps director), I co-taught the “Techniques of a Pro Mathematician” program focused on developing some of the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in college math and beyond. While teaching I learned a bunch, gained some invaluable experience in effective and engaging pedagogy, and grew a deeper appreciation for K-12 teachers. I highly encourage applying to be an instructor in the program if you can!
