Dr. Borum has been teaching and tutoring mathematics since 2000. Her primary research focus looks at various equity issues in mathematics. In particular, she explores issues pertaining to Black females and mathematics. Dr. Borum examines why there seems to be a dearth in the number of Black women who pursue the mathematical field.  Her goal is to create avenues and solutions in order to increase the number of Black women and thus the number of women entering mathematics.  Due to her research focus, Dr. Borum states, "I am truly blessed to be at Spelman teaching mathematics, which is truly my passion. What excites me about mathematics is that the logic and reasoning skills one can learn from various math courses can also be used in other areas of life. Mathematics isn’t just about numbers; mathematics teaches students how to think critically." Dr. Borum has been teaching and tutoring mathematics since 2000.
