United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a teacher with a background in computer science, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love for technology in my students. With a BS in Computer Science from Stetson University, I have successfully integrated programming and IT concepts into my curriculum, guiding students through complex subjects like AP Computer Science and Algebra 2. My experience includes creating engaging projects, such as a VR cornhole game that tracks player interactions, which not only enhances learning but also encourages creativity and critical thinking.
In addition to my teaching role, I have taken on leadership positions, mentoring first-year teachers and spearheading clubs that promote programming and robotics. My efforts in leading the Programming Club have empowered students to excel, with several becoming top performers in their grade. I believe in the importance of building strong relationships with students and colleagues, which has been key to creating a supportive learning environment that fosters growth and success.
