About Ardra Overcash

After a fulfilling career in software engineering, I’ve shifted my focus to education, serving as a Reading Tutor with Hill Learning Center. My passion for literacy stems from a lifelong love of books and a deep belief that strong reading skills are essential for success.In my previous work as a software engineer, I thrived in collaboration, problem-solving, and clear communication, earning recognition from leadership and peers for my ability to stay adaptable and solution-oriented under pressure.While I’ve stepped away from tech, I bring the same enthusiasm for learning, teamwork, and impact to my new role in education. I’m excited to apply my skills in a way that helps young learners build confidence and unlock new opportunities through reading.
