Experience

1. Bootcamp Instructor

   Max Technical Training

   Oct 2022 — Present · Mason, OH, US

   As a Software Engineer with a passion for continuous improvement and learning, I\'ve had the privilege of serving as MAX\'s first and only female full-stack instructor. My career journey has been marked by a commitment to pushing boundaries and driving positive change, and I bring this same fervor to my students. Through my role as a part-time bootcamp instructor, I had the opportunity to mold and empower students who can confidently dissect every line of their code.During the course, we delved deep into a comprehensive curriculum that covered a wide range of topics, including Java, Angular, SQL Server 2019, Git, GitHub, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and culminated in a challenging full-stack capstone project. My goal was not just to teach skills, but to instill a deep understanding and a passion for the craft of software development in each of my students. I\'m proud to say that 20% of my class received offers from tech companies even before completing the bootcamp, a testament to their dedication and the quality of education they received.
