Research and Teaching Interests

My research interests center around issues of equity, access, and power structures occurring in undergraduate STEM programs with a focus on introductory mathematics courses.

Current Research Focus

  1. The experiences of sexually minoritized (LGBTQIA) undergraduate STEM students and interrogates the mathematics discourses related to sexual identity and gender identity.
  2. Department culture and systemic change to foster equitable, inclusive, and active learning teaching strategies in introductory STEM courses.
  3. Alternative course pathways (course variations) and programs to support diversity in undergraduate calculus programs.
  4. The role of technology, instructional design, and computer programing to broaden participation by infusing culturally relevant pedagogy.
