I would like to help students succeed early in PhD programs. A question is what does it mean to succeed? How can we precisely describe what is expected of students? How can we support students to meet those goals?

Really good in the sense that I've had a lot of wonderful, inclusive mentors who've introduced me to a lot of opportunities and taught me a lot about the math world I wouldn't know otherwise. Challenging in the sense that it's hard to find people who share my experiences and I often feel doubted or disrespected in classes

I am interested in listening to ideas on what we can do at the undergraduate level (eg. New and imaginative courses or other programs) that could lead to more students from diverse backgrounds majoring in math.
