Bio


I am an Education PhD student at Stanford who is also working on a Computer Science Master's. I was a software developer at FamilySearch and still love genealogy. I was a high school computer science teacher and dance teacher in Los Angeles, California. I'm interested in learning and improving myself as a programmer and an educator.
