About Me
I build products that help adults learn, and I care about making them simple and accessible.
I came to software through teaching and a desire to build things that make a difference. I earned an MS in Economics from Georgia Tech, where my thesis used panel regression on NCES data to study institutional factors linked to non-completion at for-profit colleges and tuition trends in higher education. Right after graduating, I worked as a Research Analyst at Harvard Kennedy School, supporting statistical research using R and STATA. I then completed a Python bootcamp to sharpen my technical skills and transition from analysis to building. This trained me to be precise and to ship work people can actually use.
As an Adult ESOL Teacher, I saw students struggle with tools that were not built for them. So I started building my own: 10+ web applications using Python/Flask, React, and Firebase. From a complete learning management system to advisor bulletin boards to educational games, each project solves a real problem I've witnessed firsthand. This experience taught me to troubleshoot technical issues, configure systems, write documentation, and ensure users can successfully adopt new tools.
I'm seeking entry-level technical roles in Technical Support, Implementation, QA, or Training & Development where I can combine my technical implementation experience, problem-solving skills, and teaching background. I'm looking for roles that are realistic stepping stones toward engineering while allowing me to build on my strengths in troubleshooting, system configuration, user support, and seeing projects through to completion.
