With over 18 years of industry experience in technology, including extensive mentoring and training opportunities, I am confident in my ability to deliver engaging and impactful learning experiences for adult students.

During my 7 1/2 years in the military, I provided comprehensive training to soldiers, a role that required adaptability, strong communication, and the ability to mentor individuals with varying levels of experience. In addition to this, I have consistently provided instructional guidance to co-workers throughout my career, helping them navigate complex technical challenges and grow in their roles. Although my previous formal teaching experience includes teaching general computing to seniors, my extensive mentoring experience has equipped me with the skills necessary to effectively engage and inspire students in a virtual classroom setting.

My technical background includes deep expertise in general computing, multiple programming languages, and cloud environments.  I am particularly skilled in enhancing existing materials and developing new content to meet the unique needs of different audiences, which aligns well with your requirement for creating supplemental resources and practice scenarios.

I hold a strong passion for continuous learning and staying abreast of industry trends, ensuring that the instruction I provide is current and relevant. My experience in leading and mentoring teams has honed my ability to create supportive learning environments that encourage student success.

I am confident that my background in both technical instruction and mentoring makes me a strong fit for your needs.
