From a first hackathon to teaching.
Coding in Color Instructor
Curious by nature.
Building with purpose.
I work where people, technology, and ideas meet. Sometimes that means guiding a project, building a tool, or helping someone discover what they can create with code.

Ongoing role
Product & project management
Wise Pelican
Coordinating people, priorities, and technical work across a software organization.
I helped turn an unresolved launch plan into a phased rollout. By asking product and engineering to reconcile scope, capacity, and ownership before committing to dates, I helped the team define a smaller first release and give more complex work its own timeline.

- Introductions to AI
- Community workshops
The story keeps unfolding.
My work crosses product and project management, software, and computer science education. The common thread is curiosity, practical problem solving, and making things matter to people.
The story so far
A first win, then giving back
An early Coding in Color hackathon experience became an invitation to keep learning and volunteering.
Learning and leading
Preparatory STEM coursework at ASU and student recognition offered new directions for personal growth.
Teaching and building
Published coverage traces my path from hackathon participant to volunteer and computing instructor.
In my own wordsAlongside teaching, I have been exploring product and project work, technical projects, and collaborative workshops.
