Biography

I have always loved Mathematics, particularly thinking creatively to solve problems and applying Mathematics to real world situations. I enjoy the challenge and find it incredibly satisfying to solve a difficult problem. Since completing my degree and PhD in Mathematics, I have developed a love of teaching the subject and I find it really rewarding to pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm to others. I love the "lightbulb moments" when a student understands a new concept and is then able to apply their new knowledge to solve a problem. I also enjoy developing and trialling new teaching strategies with the aim of giving my students the best possible experience.

I have completed a PGCE and have worked in a Sixth Form College for many years, predominantly teaching A level Maths and A level Further Maths. Teaching on these courses has been a fantastic experience: many of my past students have gone on to study STEM subjects at university and I feel proud to have equipped them with a mathematical toolkit that will be useful to them in their future studies. I love teaching a wide variety of students: those who love Mathematics as much as I do, but also those who need a little convincing! I find it rewarding to increase students' confidence in Mathematics and to boost their mathematical resilience, lessening their fear of making mistakes. I have taught GCSE resit classes during my time in a Sixth Form College and have been involved in service teaching for a range of STEM subjects at The 糖心原创 and I love the diversity of the students I have interacted with.

Past Research

During my time as a PhD student, I researched wave dynamics on networks of beams/plates coupled along 1D joints. This set-up was mapped onto the wave dynamics on graphs and was presented as an extension to generic wave graph systems such as those studied in quantum graph theory.
