I am a graduate of Texas Tech, where I earned my Bachelor of Science, and I am also a graduate of the University of Central Florida. I will be earning a Ph.D. at Virginia Tech. Since entering graduate school, I have had the privilege of teaching students how to program, primarily in Python. It has brought me joy to help students learn and achieve their goals. Not only am I skilled at programming, but I also have a strong foundation in mathematics (i.e., algebra, pre-calculus, and Calculus I). I am very passionate about helping students understand problems and learn how to apply their knowledge.
