Passion Beyond Work

Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, cooking, travelling, dancing, working out, organizing events, and teaching STEM classes.

STEM outreach

In 2019 and 2020, I taught First-Year Interests Group: Logic & Problem Solving at Dalhousie University. This course is a non-credit university course aimed at first-year students who have an interest in Mathematics but have not yet declared their majors.

Cooking
