Biography: 

Marta’s research focuses broadly on how people learn disciplinary and professional practices and the environments that support their learning. She is particularly interested in the potential of geometry and spatial mathematics for empowering learners to become mathematical authors and inquirers. Marta completed her B.S. and M.S. in mathematics at Texas A&M University and completed her PhD in Teaching and Learning with a focus on mathematics and science education at Vanderbilt University. Her passion for mathematics education grew from her experiences working with students learning mathematics in a range of in-school and out-of-school contexts.

Kindergarten-Elementary program and occasionally a graduate course in the mathematics and science education concentration. Outside of work, you will find her playing with her two cats, swimming, tending to her plants, or experimenting in the kitchen.
