Program Director for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Technology: Software Development.Designed, proposed, and launched a new applied bachelor's degree in software development that seeks to solve one of the tech industry’s toughest challenges: the lack of diversity in its hiring pipeline. Underrepresented minorities including women, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans, combined, account for less than a quarter of all tech workers. South King County and Pierce County, Green River College's service area, has both the most diverse population in the state and a highly concentrated veteran population, all of which need access to high-wage careers. Working together with partners like the National Science Foundation, our local school districts, and our neighboring community and technical colleges, our program at Green River College is recruiting students, many of them in low socioeconomic status, and producing a new, diverse generation of college graduates with the technical knowledge and communication skills to fill high-demand, high-paying tech jobs in our region.
