Who am I?

Hello,

This is Pi Girl. I am that girl that is so freaky because she loves math. I am that girl that hangs out in the study lounge and help you out with a math question just for the love of it. I am that the girl that makes corny math jokes, and loves being a nerd in front of her class.

I have a passion for teaching and a passion for interdisciplinary mathematics. What a better way to introduce and engage young minds in the awesomeness and power of math than through the topics of today that interest them - disease, medicine, conservation, biodiversity, evolution, green energy...

But I have another side as well - I am a mom to 2 wonderful children and a wife to an academic as well. How do I do it all? Can I do it all? Follow me and find out as I ramble weekly about being a math professor and a mom.

Cheers,
Pi Girl
