Price is one of the founding organizers of the Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS), an annual multi-day symposium started in 2011 that features the research of algebra and topology graduate students, as well as providing career and professional development opportunities.[7]

In 2017, Price, along with Erica Graham, Raegan Higgins, and Shelby Wilson, started the website Mathematically Gifted & Black, which, coinciding with Black History Month, highlights the life and works of a modern-day Black mathematician every day in February.[1]

Awards and honors

Price was a 2013 MAA Project NExT fellow.[8] For her work on Mathematically Gifted & Black, she was awarded the 2022 Presidential Recognition Award[9] of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).

She co-delivered an invited plenary address at the 2021 National Math Festival.[10] She delivered a Mathematical Association of America (MAA) invited lecture at MathFest 2021.[11]
