Brief Biographical Sketch:

I love teaching math to people who are excited about math! I do this both professionally and for fun. In my work life, I'm the program director of Canada/USA Mathcamp, a summer program for mathematically talented high-school students, and during the summer, I get to teach at Mathcamp. Outside of camp, I invent classes for fun at teaching/learning festivals like Splash. In all contexts, I like infectious enthusiasm for inquiry, and that's exactly what you find at a place like Splash.

A little about me, aside from math:
0. I like lists.
1. I sing. All the time. Sometimes with a band. Sometimes in the shower.
2. I go see live music at least one night a week.
3. I'm a little bit obsessed with Scrabble.
4. My favorite author is Laurie R. King.
5. My favorite food is mustard.
6. I really hope there's a third season of Dollhouse.
7. I'm from New York. Without loss of generality, we may assume that "New York" means "New York City."
8. I really, really like alphabetizing books. It's what I do in the evenings to wind down. Bring order to the chaos! Fight the entropy!
