Writing

In truth, I avoided writing as a child. It’s what gravitated me towards math, something I stuck with my whole life. Funny enough, learning to write mathematical proofs in college seemed to unlock a passion for writing, something I’ve in turn stuck with ever since.

Math Education

Much of my professional writing has pertained to math education. My published articles span math assessment, math fluency, rigor in math, math intervention, the history of math, and more. Listed here are selections that showcase different subtopics, audiences, and tones.

General Education

Over my career, I’ve studied and written about many aspects of K–12 education. As marketing director at HMH, I managed a team of copywriters and served as executive editor for HMH’s award-winning company blog from 2019–2026.

Curriculum Writing

The specific writing I did varied on the product. I’ve written and edited components such as textbook pages, online resources, assessment items, teacher scripting, video games, and interactive simulations.

Video Scripts

I’ve been involved in educational video development throughout my career. At Scholastic and later HMH, I edited and eventually wrote scripts for “Math at Work,” a classroom web series that shows the math behind high-interest careers.

Non-Education

Not all of my writing that’s been published somewhere has pertained to education. I contain multitudes! In addition to side projects I’ve taken on in my life, I independently publish the Blankman List, a monthly newsletter of things to do in NYC.
