I design and test new ways of learning mathematics through movement, exploring how our sensory experiences shape understanding. In this work, I collaborate with public, charter, and alternative schools, educational technologists, museums, interdisciplinary researchers, and neurodiverse learners to develop tools and theory that can make STEM learning more engaging, effective, and accessible.
I got my PhD in Special Education at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in math education, and am currently an NSF RISE postdoctoral research fellow in inclusive math education at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
