My passion for education comes from a desire to share my time, resources, & support for the current generation of students in my hometown.

Growing up in the mountains of rural North Carolina I had dial-up internet as my gateway to the rest of the world until I left for college.

I believe that students just need a nudge to topics they are already interested in. Exposing students in rural NC to concepts they might not have encountered can power their curiosity and help them develop their interests.

I started a tech club named Quartz Computer Club based on a simple idea & a few values:

Teach students about Tech w/ current topics, tools, & methods

• Be Relevant - We talk TikTok, DALL·E 2, Autonomous Vehicles, etc.
• Be Creative - We bring a no idea is too crazy approach
• Be a Team - We help each other learn, communicate powerfully, and support each other
• Be Unique - We follow the teams’ interests, conversations, & ideas
