I hold an Associate’s Degree of Applied Sciences in Computer Programming from the Nebraska College of Business and a Scrum Master Certification from the International Scrum Institute. Alongside my education, I have more than twenty years of professional experience building software with C#, .NET, SQL Server, and APIs, which allows me to teach skills the way they are actually used on the job.
From November 2022 through December 2025, I worked as an Information Technology Instructor with Code Black Tech, teaching programming, networking, and database management to adult learners in both on-site and remote settings. My approach is hands-on and practical. I introduce a concept briefly, then have students build something with it, so they learn by doing and by troubleshooting their own mistakes. I adjust my pace and explanations to fit each learner, and I encourage critical thinking by asking students to explain their reasoning rather than simply handing them answers.
For more than three years I have also served as a part-time business mentor with American Corporate Partners, working one on one and remotely with transitioning veterans entering tech careers on resumes, interviews, and career planning. Earlier in my career, I trained and mentored junior developers through code reviews and team leadership, including leading a team of ten. I enjoy helping people build confidence as well as skills.
