Experience

IB Computer Science teacher, CIS Team Evaluator, CAS advisor, and educational technologist. With a strong background in programming languages such as Python, C, and Java, I work closely with educators to enhance their technology skills and integrate technology into their classroom instruction. I am also passionate about community service projects and collaborating with students to organize and implement social service projects. With my expertise in both technology and education, I strive to create engaging learning experiences that inspire students to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
