My journey with technology started early—I was tinkering with computers back in the 5th grade and built my very first machine by the time I was in 7th. That lifelong curiosity eventually led me to earn a Master’s in Information Systems Management and built a career moving from IT Coordinator to IT Specialist and currently IT System Administrator. I’ve spent years tutoring and mentoring one-on-one, working with everyone from 8-year-olds to adults. Because I’ve been in the "student" seat since I was a kid myself, I know exactly how to break down complex systems into something fun and understandable.
I’m a big believer that experience is the best teacher. It’s so easy to get stuck in "analysis paralysis" when you're staring at endless manuals or tutorials. To keep things moving, I use Project-Based Learning, focusing our energy on a specific task or real-world project. By narrowing the scope this way, I help students learn the fundamentals without feeling overwhelmed. We don't just talk about theory; we apply it to something tangible so the information actually sticks.
I really enjoy the "figuring it out" part of tech, and I try to pass that enthusiasm on to my students. Whether we’re learning a new language or finishing a specific task, I want the process to feel like a puzzle rather than a chore. My goal is to help students move past the "information overload" phase and get straight to the rewarding part: building something that works.
