What I'm looking for

I seek teaching-focused roles at colleges or universities where I can coordinate courses, develop curriculum, mentor students, and continue research in graph theory.

I am an instructor of mathematics with a PhD from Louisiana State University and a sustained record of university-level teaching since 2017.

I teach a wide range of courses from calculus through linear algebra and differential equations, and I coordinate the Vector Calculus I sequence, improving online homework and supporting instructors.

My research focuses on graph theory (directed graphs, girth, cubic graphs, integer flows) with publications including a peer-reviewed Journal of Graph Theory article and several arXiv preprints, and I present at national conferences.

I have a long history of problem-solving coaching for math competitions, strong LaTeX and C++ skills, and a commitment to curriculum development, student support, and course coordination.
