Always learning. Always building.
My Story

I’m constantly learning. I’m constantly building.

Over the past decade working at the intersection of technology and education, my journey has been anything but ordinary. It has been defined by creating space—entering rooms to break down complex technical concepts and ensuring the next generation, especially children, can see themselves doing the same. Today, watching my former students build thriving careers in tech remains one of my greatest rewards.

As the co-founder of Stacked Up Academy, I’ve had the privilege of driving tangible impact: placing self-authored books into the hands and homes of young learners, teaching foundational coding skills, and hosting community-wide youth STEAM conferences.

Now, I’m stepping into an exciting new chapter merging deep educational experience with the power of generative AI to transform adult learning. I created Your Tech Match to remove the noise, anxiety, and endless searching from modern tech trends. My mission is to make technology and AI accessible, practical, and digestible for everyday learners, helping others navigate their own journeys into tech with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about exploring the world and connecting with others. My personal pursuits include reading, traveling, working out, learning a new instrument, journaling, and volunteering with organizations that support education and community learning.

The way I approach the work.

Whether I’m building software, teaching a class or speaking on stage, these principles stay at the center.

01

Make it clear.

I break down complex technical ideas into practical lessons people can understand, use and build from.

02

Make it useful.

Every workshop, product and program starts with a real need and ends with something people can take forward.

03

Make room.

I create spaces where young people and professionals feel confident experimenting with technology and AI.

The Work So Far
