Math education consulting and professional development.
Professional development, workshops, speaking engagements, and one-on-one consulting.
Incorporating socio-emotional learning into math class (without sacrificing rigor!) because learning math is cognitive AND emotional.
Helping students overcome math trauma and work through emotional blocks, while supporting teachers to create a positive environment for learning math.
“This session succeeds at changing the negative feelings associated with math.“
– Preservice teachers, University of Arizona
“This was an incredible professional development opportunity! Much better than the other DEI trainings that I’ve attended before. This goes beyond Diversity 101 content that we get in every training.“
– Faculty member, Westminster University

Professional Development For teachers
PD workshops help teachers transform their math classroom into a supportive and rigorous learning space. Content-focused workshops increase knowledge of math and strengthen teaching skills. All workshops emphasize how to foster an inclusive and compassionate math learning community.
Working with parents
What subtle or not-so-subtle messages are you sending to your children about studying math? How can you help make the best of your time at home (not just with homework). I can work with you privately or at your PTA meeting to provide tips on how to help your child achieve while not hating math.
One-on-one tutoring
I work one-on-one to help you overcome challenges with learning math and increase your grades. Meetings can occur remotely. I can work on a sliding scale based on your income. Emphasis is placed on deep understanding in a supportive environment.
in the workplace
In business numbers tell a story. Make sure you can play your part in it. After graduation and once in the workforce, you may now see that stronger math skills could help advance your career. I can work one-on-one or in a group to help strengthen the quantitative skills needed at work.
Watch my appearance on India White’s Podcast Let’s Get Gritty. I loved talking about my story of being a woman of color in math, grit, and how social justice and math education are completely intertwined.
