Outreach

Curriculum Ambassador

I am a curriculum ambassador for mathematics at QMUL. In this role I am part of the Student Recruitment and Widening Participation team, representing QMUL locally, regionally and nationally with schools and colleges in the UK. I deliver academic content and providing information, advice and guidance about higher education.

See here for an example of my outreach involved with this.

Diversifying & Decolonising the Curriculum

Since 2022 I have been part of a group at QMUL researching mathematicians of diverse backgrounds to hopefully be incorporated into our undergraduate courses and beyond. We have written almost 60 biographies to date and have conducted interviews with over a dozen mathematicians to create resources for students to learn and be inspired by mathematicians relevant to the subject who are not just old white men!

Our booklet of biographies can be found here and a selection of our interviews can be found here.

Robogals Canberra

Robogals is a worldwide volunteer organisation with the goal of improving gender equity in STEM subjects. Each chapter runs free engineering and technology workshops for their local community.

While at ANU, I was a lead volunteer with Robogals Canberra and helped run workshops on robotics for girls aged 10-16.

Tutorial-a-thon

I participated in the Fall 2021 edition of AATRN & WinCompTop's Tutorial-a-thon. This is a project aimed at spreading awareness of the field of topological data analysis with short, introductory videos.

My video on the stability of persistent homology can be found here.

PhD Your Way

PhD Your Way is an annual, online event aimed at people from underrepresented groups in maths to explain what exactly a PhD is and the basics of how to apply.

In 2022 and 2023 I was a panellist member for the event, and in 2024 I also helped organise the event.

Social Media Takeover

For International Women's Day in 2023 I did a takeover of QMUL Mathematics' social media to highlight some of the women in the department.

I made a video from the takeover which you can find here.

Piscopia

I am a cofounder of the QMUL Piscopia Committee. Pisocpia is a initiative which began in Scotland, encouraging women and underrepresented genders to pursue a PhD in Mathematics and creating a support network for students and researchers in Mathematics and related disciplines.
