Professional Summary
As a former high school English teacher, I am looking to change the landscape of education by giving teachers and students better tools. After six years teaching in an urban public school, I found many creative ways to integrate technology into my lessons to make it more effective, efficient, and engaging. After learning full-stack development, I want to combine my love of education and technology to build projects that help provide more access to knowledge. I am a natural leader with great organization, and interpersonal skills to facilitate growth.
