I am currently an Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education in the Elementary and Early Childhood Education department at Queens College in the City University of New York (CUNY). I love working at the School of Education at Queens College – the college that graduates the most teachers, counselors, and principals in the NY metropolitan area. I take very seriously my job of teaching – as well as learning with and from – those who want to become future elementary school teachers. As a former two-time Peace Corps Volunteer and educator in Bangladesh and South Africa, math teacher in the NYC Department of Education, and math/interdisciplinary studies professor at Guttman Community College, I have dedicated my life to fighting for equity in and through education for historically underserved and marginalized students around the world. My scholarship is grounded in applying critical theory and pedagogy to examine educational equity across various fields ranging from mathematics education, to international education, to the scholarship of teaching and learning STEM subjects.
