Created an editorial advisory board with rotating advisors. Created a permanent Faculty Advisor position. Expanded the size of the magazine to include more content. I also introduced the strategy of using the magazine as an essential means of promoting the college’s brand in that every piece of content should be strategy-driven to help achieve one or more of the college’s communication goals.° Editor-in-Chief of the Summer 2017 issue of Tennessee Law (the "transactional law" issue).° Designed and edited the Spring 2017 issue of "The Advocate" newsletter.° Connected faculty members with media across the country to speak on legal topics ranging from the Supreme Court to local legal matters.° Promoted conferences, symposiums, continuing legal education (CLE) courses, and other events.° Dozens of print design projects (brochures, signs, banners, etc).

I lead front-end web development workshops for a diverse range of students with little or no experience who want to become professional developers. My courses cover entry-level HTML 5, CSS 3, and Javascript where they are introduced to the essentials of web development and are prepared for more advanced and specialized topics.I love working with beginners because it gives me the opportunity to excite them about the field and prepare them for the challenges ahead. My students love my laid-back conversational approach to teaching and find immense value in my ability to relate the concepts I teach to real-world web development projects I am currently working on or have in the past. My extensive experience also allows me to give them additional insight into the field and offer advice on how to navigate common issues they'll face as developers. My past students have rated me 4.88/5 stars from 235 reviews.
