"I am a skilled Software Developer with a strong foundation in full-stack development and a passion for teaching and mentoring others in technology. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Software Development from Western Governors University, where I gained extensive knowledge in programming languages such as Python, Java, and JavaScript, as well as database management using MySQL. I am currently pursuing an MBA in IT Management at the same institution, further enhancing my ability to bridge technical expertise with strategic leadership. In addition, I hold certifications in CompTIA A+, ITIL 4, and CompTIA Project+, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and technical excellence.

My teaching and mentoring experience spans both professional and informal settings. As a Learning Management Specialist for the Independence School District, I provided comprehensive training and technical support to teachers, students, and parents, ensuring effective utilization of software platforms like Canvas. I conducted personalized coaching sessions, group training, and developed video tutorials, adapting my teaching approach to suit diverse learning styles and skill levels. Working with learners of varying ages, from K-12 educators to adult users, I have developed the ability to explain complex technical concepts in an accessible and engaging manner.

Additionally, I have experience mentoring peers and students in programming and IT-related subjects, focusing on hands-on, project-based learning. My approach emphasizes practical applications, ensuring students can confidently apply their skills to real-world challenges. Whether guiding learners through coding fundamentals, assisting with debugging, or supporting the completion of projects, I strive to create an encouraging and interactive learning environment. My academic background, combined with my professional and teaching experience, makes me well-equipped to help students master technical skills and achieve their learning goals." less...
