USV Faculty

My name Joel Gallegos and I am an educator who is deeply committed to creating welcoming, inclusive learning environments where students feel supported and empowered to explore mathematics with confidence. Over the years, I have taught and mentored students at institutions including the University of St. Thomas, the University of Minnesota, and San Francisco State University. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s degree in Mathematics from San Francisco State University. I later pursued doctoral studies in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota and completed an MBA certificate in Business Analytics. Currently, I am working as an accountant for the state while still continuing to be an adjunct mathematics professor here at USV because of my passion for teaching and being apart of students achieving their goals.
