Timeline
CS Highschool Teacher @ Father Michael Goetz CSS
I began my teaching career in November 2020 teaching senior math and junior business in the height of the pandemic. In February of 2021, I became a full-time permanent teacher at Father Michael Goetz Catholic Secondary School where I now teach JavaScript, GameMaker Language, Python, Java, and C# to highschool students.
BEd @ York University
I completed my Bachelors in Education with the primary intention to immerse myself in the study of pedagogy in the hopes of changing the ways new developers are on-boarded to new companies, tech-stacks and new ways of thinking.
Coding Teacher @ Reidmount Discovery Schools
I began a new job as a Coding Teacher for Reidmount Discovery Schools teaching students between the ages of 6 and 17 the fundamentals of coding, including concepts like computatoinal thinking, logic and problem solving, using Python and Unity.
Undergrad in CS @ McMaster University
I studied Computer Science at McMaster University. During my time there, I was an undergraduate TA for a first year intro to coding class, participated in Hack-a-thons, and completed a one year Capstone project focused on computer vision and data interpretation to help make basketball players better at their free throws.
High school student @ Cardinal Leger CSS
I fell in love with Computer Science at the age of 15 when I took the grade 11 ICS3U course in my grade 10 year. In grade 10 I participated in the ECOO coding competition, and I would go on to compete in CCC, DWITE, and ECOO for every year I had remaining in high school.
