Welcome To My Page
Yay I am so glad you are here! My name is Anastasia or Ana
for short. I am an age at the moment,
which is really no time at all while also my whole life...
This page is still a bit of a mess, and likely will be for
a long time, but I hope little by little it will all come
together :3 Currently I am studying computer
science at Colorado School of Mines. I plan on graduating
with my bachlor's degree next May and then starting a
master's degree next August (hopefully I am accepted). Aside
from computer science and education I have a bunch of random
hobbies. Some of my favorites are hiking, backpacking,
anything at all related to snow, cooking, book binding,
reading fiction, and journaling. Really though those are
all the same thing in a convoluted sort of way. Like
everything in life, hobbies are best with other people, so
if you ever want to talk about one of the hobbies I have (or
even better a hobby you have that I do not) please
absolutely feel free to contact me!
About This Website
As alluded to above this site is a bit of a mess. It is
ultimately the home of various projects I wanted to put
publically onto the internet in some form. Many sections are
currently still under construction — some are even lacking
in any substantive content — but feel free to explore if
anything catches your interest.
I have many opinions about what digital content is appealing and
effective for me personally. Not all of them are well founded or
strictly speaking "good" at being effective methods of
communication. That being said, if you are curious about why
this page and many of the other pages on this site look the way
they do (and how you could — though should not —
have a similar site) check out my
style document.
Things That Exist Online

Grant Sanderson's 3B1B
I absolutely love what Grant Sanderson is doing with mathematics
education (and technical education more broadly) with videos on
motivated intuitions behind otherwise potentially quite hard to
grasp topics. The Manim python library along with the community
around it is also yet another sign that what he is doing is not
just amazing in its own right but has real potential to be the
basis for lots of new amazing educational content on the web!
Also he got me out of calculus one — just in case I needed
any more reasons to be in awe of the project.

Zoe Bee
Another person who I believe is doing some incredible things on
the internet. I love all of her videos so much, but her passion
for education is especially heartwarming and inspiring to me. I
sincerely believe that some of the videos on her channel have
made me a better person after some reflection and that is always
a good thing.
Also her cat is so cute and shows up in many videos which...
it just adds that much more. From her current page description:
The cat is the brains of the operation.
