I am a Mathematics Education Lecturer at Te Kaupeka Ako | Faculty of Education. I joined Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury in 2022. I came to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2018 from India to pursue my PhD in mathematics education with focus on exploring classroom interactions in a classroom with culturally and linguistically diverse children.
