Mathematics educator and researcher with over twenty years of teaching experience, specializing in advanced mathematical concepts and curriculum design. My teaching portfolio encompasses a wide range of undergraduate and advanced mathematics courses, including Calculus, Analytical Geometry, Mathematical Language, Complex and Real Analysis, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I adopt a student-centered approach, emphasizing conceptual understanding, real-world relevance, and the cultivation of logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Coppin State University, where I teach Basic Statistics (MATH 203), Math for Elementary Teachers I (MATH 103), Math for Elementary Teachers II (MATH 104), and mentor undergraduates.
Alongside teaching, I maintain an active research profile, with over 43 high-impact international journal publications that reflect my commitment to advancing mathematical knowledge.
