About

I'm a technical educator and consultant with 5+ years of experience in IT consulting and performance optimization. I blend deep technical knowledge with a passion for teaching, helping individuals and organizations build stronger relationships and develop impactful knowledge gaps.

My work focuses on three core areas: tutoring students in Microsoft Tools and programming principles, delivering engaging public speaking on topics like Women in Tech and Diversity, and creating thoughtful designs for logos, posters, and digital experiences.

Beyond consulting, I'm deeply committed to community impact through my projects that empower underrepresented groups in technology and foster inclusive spaces for growth and learning.
