Instructional Associate, General Assembly

My passion for programming started when I was in middle school creating my own role-playing games without even knowing programming was a thing. I graduated with my Masters in Applied Psychology mixed with a Social Justice curriculum. My love for helping people led me to seek innovative ways on how to lessen the longevity of treatment plans in the mental health field. I wanted to create an application to mix technology and mental health together so I completed an SEI course in 2020. After graduation, I've had the pleasure of helping teach two SEI cohorts. I'm so excited to teach because one of the best part of teaching is helping people find their love for programming, and help them believe in themselves beyond what they think they can do.
