Before beginning Ada, I taught math and reading to special needs students in a low income school, where I used instructional data and educational technology and to create meaningful goals for my students and facilitated the learning processes to help them achieve those goals.
Teaching students with special needs gave me a unique opportunity to watch and empathize with my students’ frustrations with all kinds of technology. Their struggles taught me the importance of accessibility and the need to create a positive and intuitive user experience.
As a student at Ada, I have an affinity for writing clean readable code, finding logical solutions to difficult problems, and creating an enjoyable user experience. When I am not hacking away at my keyboard, you can find me cafe crawling around Seattle or lost on the local hiking trails.
