• I am currently a digital coach and computer science instructor at #AISLearns. Building relationships and fostering a culture of collaboration guide much of what I do. My aim - to allow learners the space to seek out and engage with their interests, to help them experience the value of deep exploration, and to offer them the weight of our experience and learn alongside them.
