Experience
Welcome! I'm a NYS based teacher certified in both computer science and mathematics. I've been teaching for 12 years and have come to love the content creation side of education. I initially started my career as a mathematics teacher, and made the transition to computer science, drawn to its creative and dynamic nature.
Teaching style
My teaching philosophy centers on encouraging students to bring their own interests and passions into coding projects. This creates a supportive, student‑centered environment where they feel ownership of their work and a personal connection to the material. By learning about my students through their projects, I help them feel empowered to take risks and tackle challenges — ultimately becoming effective problem solvers, skilled coders, and confident programmers.
Take the Trivia Project, my favorite example. When students write questions about something they genuinely love — whether it's a hobby, a sports team, or a favorite movie — I get to learn about who they are. That builds strong rapport and boosts their engagement in computer science.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I'm proud to say that over 90% of my students who take AP Computer Science Principles or AP Computer Science A earn a 3 or higher.
I was featured in a Teacher Spotlight article in Newsday newspaper for creating an original puzzle game, Venn Ten (www.vennten.com)
My own education history
I received both my Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, and my Masters degree in Mathematics Education from St. Joseph's University, NY.
