1. What do you do?

I teach mathematics in Washington, D.C., using data and quantitative thinking to help students understand not just how to solve problems, but why the mathematics matters.

2. What’s the coolest part of your job?

The moment a student who once said, “I’m not good at math,” realizes they actually can do it. Watching that change in confidence is incredibly rewarding.
