Dr. Malahoo partners with schools, districts, education agencies, nonprofit organizations and conference organizers to build mathematics and STEM learning that reaches every family.
Every engagement draws on 13 school years in a Title I classroom, doctoral research in K-8 mathematics education, and experience leading grant-supported programs (more than $175,000 in competitive funding) that reached more than 300 families each year.
