Experience
After earning my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science last 2007, I began teaching at the college and university level, inspired by my favorite professor, Resty Aldana, who encouraged me to give it a try; you might enjoy it. This experience was instrumental in developing my skills in building rapport, mentoring, patience, and technical documentation for curriculum and research. Although I currently consider myself on hiatus due to my location and lifestyle, I look forward to returning to college-level teaching in the future.
