Former psychology and philosophy graduate from New York University who loves teaching and video games. I am a nerd who became interested in programming through my interest in social psychology and my love of video games. I attended the fullstack web development course at Flatiron School. I am always trying to learn new technologies, and am a writer for two Publishers on Medium, where I write articles detailing how to use the new technologies and tools as I learn them. I have also been a private tutor for many years, and am currently a part-time teaching assistant at Trilogy Education for full-stack web development bootcamp courses. I enjoy making video game related projects in my spare time.
