Full Stack Developer Coding Bootcamp at University of Arizona

Teaching, training, and instruction runs in my family. My grandmother had a PhD. in Adult Education, my mother had a Masters degree from the department of education at the University of Oklahoma, my father was an instructor for quality assurance in the military, my brother is an award winning cheerleading coach, and my sister is a college admissions counselor. Connecting with people to exchange ideas and tell stories has been a long tradition in my life. Below are a few examples of how this has played out in my career.

I wasn't sure what awaited me when I signed up to be a Peace Corps volunteer in 2004. What an adventure! Some of my students had never seen let alone touched a computer!

  • I taught classes to young adults in the Microsoft Office Suite (Introduction and Advanced Word, Access, Excel).
  • I also taught classes in Desktop Publishing which emphasized layout and design concepts as well as using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe PageMaker 7.0.

In the 2 years I was a Cognos (IBM Analytics) Administrator for Hoya Vision Care I did a major upgrade of Cognos software and created a series of sales and finance reports for the company.

To help with the adoption of these upgrades, I created a corporate training program for the sales team to utilize the newly upgraded Cognos system, creating a training and sales dashboard and corresponding set of videos, live training events, and manuals.

During my tenure at BSP Software (now Techdata) as a Technical Sales Representative, I demonstrated the benefits and complexities of our company software (MetaManager) to potential clients, often C-level executives.

As the Global Channel Manager, I developed and maintained productive relationships at all levels of partner organizations, including executive leadership, sales, event marketing, and pre-sales engineering. I was also flown nationally and internationally to train our resellers on the software and sales presentation associated with it.
