I’ve had the pleasure of working with many bright and talented students including high school students, UW undergrads, REU students from across the U.S., in-service math educators who are pursuing an MST, and UW MS and PhD students.  In each instance I find that I’m the one learning!


I’m always interested in working with more students.  So please drop by.
