I began my career as a software developer, working across a variety of roles and industries where I honed my technical skills in programming, front-end development, and Agile environments. With experience in companies like Neustar and Windstream, I contributed to building and enhancing software solutions using a range of tools and languages including Java, C#, Angular, and DevOps platforms.Recently, I've transitioned into roles that combine my passion for education and leadership. I currently serve as an After School Site Lead for the Lodi Unified School District and a Recreation Specialist for the City of Lodi, while also tutoring at Huntington Learning Center. These positions allow me to apply my technical problem-solving background in new ways—guiding students, developing educational activities, and fostering a positive environment for growth.Looking ahead, I am excited to continue working in education-focused roles, where I can further contribute to the development and success of students. My journey has shifted from software development to a focus on enriching young minds, and I hope to integrate my technical background with educational initiatives, ensuring students are prepared for an increasingly tech-driven world.
