I worked as a part-time, seasonal contract adjunct instructor teaching network security fundamentals. Taught both in-person and online classes with two different cohorts of students, one group has a technical background that want to focus specifically on security and a second group with no technical background that want to break into technical job fields. Built customized class material, lectured, supported students for lab work and oversaw testing to quantify learning. Worked with other instructors to collaborate on teaching skills and stepped in as a substitute for other classes when appropriate
