“I would say since BSA is such a specialized school, that I get a lot more hard-working students who know what it means to put in time and effort. The thing that's always drawn me to teaching is that if I can take a hard-working student and if I can spark interest in mathematics, then I've won the battle because they'll put in the hard work. The hard part has always been sparking interest in all these equations and graphs. One of the ways I approach it is if you're not in it for the math, and you're gonna do nothing with the math, then what I'm doing is teaching you how to think logically and to approach a problem and to apply a logical argument. I've always been interested in math just because it always seemed to make sense. If I followed the algebraic rules I’d always get an answer, and I was always right. It was never subjective. If my answer was five, then the answer was always gonna be five. It wasn't like English where I could give a teacher one paper and they'd give me a grade, and I could give a different teacher the same paper and I’d get a different grade. It was always the answer is the answer.”
