About me

I am a former educator with thirteen years experience designing and delivering differentiated instruction to both students and adult learners. Throughout my career, I consistently improved student outcomes and contributed to a positive school culture through building strong relationships and communicating and collaborating with students, teachers, parents, counselors, and the broader community. I am passionate about access and equity in STEM fields.

As a software developer, I want to continue to advocate for access and equity in STEM. I desire to be part of an organization that values empathy, compassion, and connection. As someone who is service-oriented and attuned to the needs of others, I want to create content that is accessible, user-friendly, and adaptive.

DiscoverIt is an exciting new travel app designed to help users explore different cities worldwide while channeling their inner Carmen Sandiego. With its sleek design and interactive features, this app makes travel planning fun and adventurous.

The app is organized around the concept of a virtual treasure hunt, where users can search for hidden gems and little-known local favorites, with its Carmen Sandiego-themed interface. Users can select their preferred city, and the app lists must-see places and activities. With its comprehensive database of tourist attractions, local events, and hidden treasures, DiscoverIt helps users plan their travel itinerary, find the best places to eat, shop, and relax, and make the most of their trip. Users can filter the results based on their interests, such as food, art, history, and nightlife. In addition to browsing lists of places, users can save their favorite locations, create custom itineraries, and share their recommendations with other users.
