Welcome to my online profile! I am a passionate educator and lifelong learner with a deep enthusiasm for technology and a drive to uplift community.
After years of experience in music education, I have finally been given the opportunity to transition to computer science education. I have wide range of hands-on technology expertise and a dedication to student growth that goes beyond the classroom while always advocating for technology ethics.
With a diverse background that spans programming, hardware assembly, and curriculum development, I thrive at the intersection of education and technology. I am excited to share my journey, skills, and experiences with you through this site.
Recently I completed the WeTeach_CS program through the University of Texas Austin. This program is designed to help transition educators into Computer Science education roles. The goal of this program goes beyond certification, but establishes a peer group, builds a strong understanding Computer Science, and provides multiple tools to ensure a successful transition.
