Hi! I’m Sheesh. I went to Carnegie Mellon University and teach math in New York City. I’ve written for The New York Times and been rejected 112 times (and counting) by The New Yorker. I’m proud to sit on the board of the Ali Forney Center, the largest LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter in the country.

I began this journey because I have math anxiety and want to help as many kids and adults as I can. If you’d like to say hi, contact me at sheilap@alumni.cmu.edu.

When I’m not teaching math, I enjoy learning about art, ocean plastics, graph theory algorithms, and Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed.

I also love dinosaurs and audited Dr. Paul Olsen’s legendary course EESCS 1004: Dinosaurs and the History of Life at Columbia University in 2024.
