I am a graduate student at the University of Michigan--I used to be a middle school math teacher and now I study math teaching. I'm excited to meet people who are new to the area or just learning about Ann Arbor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

See above? I like meeting new people, helping them get a sense of the lay of the land, and also chatting about math, teaching, math teaching, music, pop culture, or a million other things.
