I write code and want to make a difference. As a former teacher, I love teaching and have a strong passion for education. My personal projects often revolve around building tools to help teachers be better teachers or to help students become critical thinkers. I`d really like to build a tool to teach students to love learning to code. When I`m not writing code, I like to spend time with friends and family, go hiking, walk my dog, and play on various intramural sports teams (dodgeball, softball, skeeball, etc.). Despite dancing for most of my life I`m rather uncoordinated, but I feel like it`s the spirit of the thing that counts. I also dabble in writing, although I rarely share it. A ship in port is safe, but that`s not what ships were built for.- Grace Hopper ©
