🌟 INFORMS K-12 Education Outreach & Networking Program (founded in 2023)

I have served as Co-Chair of the INFORMS EOC K-12 Outreach Committee since 2022 and co-founded the program around three core thrusts: 

• Online Webinars to share K-12 outreach practices within the INFORMS community; 

• In-Person Panel Discussions to explore future opportunities and challenges in K-12 outreach;

• STEM Spark, an INFORMS K-12 poster competition that encourages graduate students to present their research in language accessible to high-school students.

Undergraduate Research Mentorship

As someone who was inspired earlier in my academic journey, I mentor undergraduate students as they explore research and discover new knowledge. I guide students through the research process while supporting the development of curiosity and a long-term interest in research.

Curriculum Development

I develop new curriculum that introduces students to emerging research frontiers and connects teaching with research. Integrating research insights into education engages students while fostering curiosity and deeper learning.
