I’m beyond excited to be presenting at the Amazing Northwest Math Conference, an international conference in British Columbia! This opportunity to discuss equity in math on a global stage is a dream come true. I can’t wait to dive into the importance of creating equitable learning environments in mathematics, where every student—regardless of background—has the chance to thrive. I’ll also be exploring how grit plays a crucial role in student success, empowering them to persevere and grow through challenges. The chance to exchange ideas with educators and experts from around the world is absolutely thrilling, and I’m looking forward to hearing diverse perspectives, sharing strategies, and learning from the best in the field. Speaking at an international conference is a huge milestone, and I couldn’t be more excited to connect with like-minded professionals who are as passionate about equity in math education as I am!
