I am a lifelong visual artist, an educator, a carpenter, traveller, new FullStack software engineer, sometimes axe thrower, guitar player/ guitar painter, and small business owner. I am transitioning out of teaching after almost 14 years teaching mostly art to elementary students. I want a new challenge and the flexibility of hybrid or remote work. I am volunteering with the American Youth Literacy Foundation because I am inspired by the goals the organization has in mind and also to learn more as a budding engineer as I move into my new career. I look forward to being a part of the FUNetix team and to helping wherever I can.
