"I hold certifications in ITIL4 and CompTIA Project+, showcasing my expertise in IT service management and project coordination. Additionally, I am in my final semester of earning a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, further solidifying my technical foundation and programming skills. These qualifications equip me with a strong academic and professional background to mentor and teach others in the computer science field effectively.

I was a Teaching Assistant for Code Platoon, a 15-week full-time software engineering boot camp. In this role, I provided one-on-one mentorship. I assisted students in debugging various technical issues, ranging from React.js/frontend challenges to PostgreSQL configurations and Django project setups. My approach emphasized clear communication and resource development; I curated a comprehensive list of FAQs, overviews, and resources to support students' learning journey. My instructor described me as a "great teammate" and commended my ability to guide students through complex technical topics with patience and expertise.

My teaching experience primarily involved working with veterans transitioning from military service with students aged 23 to 55. The sessions were conducted in a Zoom classroom setting, allowing me to adapt my teaching techniques for small group discussions and individualized support. This environment honed my ability to foster an inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere, ensuring that each student felt empowered to achieve their goals." less...
