"I’m most proud of my work reframing existing narratives about math excellence. For example, my research exploring the communities and networks of high school students showed that contrary to popular (and largely anecdotal) belief, students are very interested in mathematics and want to learn more of it. And they garner support for their mathematics learning from multiple and sometimes surprising sources."
