I bring nearly two decades of teaching and tutoring experience across diverse educational settings and age groups. My educational background includes specialized training in instructional design and adult education, which I have applied throughout my career in both formal classroom environments and one-on-one tutoring contexts.
As an instructor at the Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families and Des Moines Area Community College, I developed and delivered customized lesson plans, assessments, and instructional materials tailored to adult learners, including English language learners. My approach emphasizes clarity, patience, and adaptability—breaking down complex concepts into accessible steps while providing detailed, constructive feedback that builds confidence and competence. I have worked extensively with students ranging from young adults to mature professionals, in classroom settings, small group workshops, and individual tutoring sessions.
Beyond formal instruction, my role as Chief Executive Officer of Digital Edge has required me to mentor and guide team members through technical and strategic concepts, reinforcing my ability to communicate complex information in understandable terms. Additionally, my background as an IT Business Systems and Salesforce Analyst at Principal Financial Group equipped me with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which I integrate into my teaching methods to help students think critically and approach challenges systematically.
My teaching philosophy centers on meeting students where they are, fostering a supportive learning environment, and empowering them to achieve their goals through clear communication, structured guidance, and personalized attention. Whether tutoring English language skills, technical subjects, or professional development topics, I am committed to helping each student succeed.
