Work History

Assistant Director of Education

Code Ninjas
03.2022 - Current

Within my line of work, I would develop the curriculum for coding concepts for the students (ages 7-14)- they would explore these physically and mentally. I would simplify complex programming concepts and expand on them over the span of a month, leading the kids to understand these advanced topics.


I am also, currently, the sole leader of emotional teaching for the kids. This mainly deals with children with neurodivergencies and alternative teachings to keep them content and engaged. We have had a lot of improvement with these students, especially when they would struggle within a traditional school environment.


I have also done a lot of work in revamping our programs. A prime example is Girls Who Code; this program previously was only a title; it was heavily neglected under the guise of progression. I have fully revamped it to include education of historical women in STEM, experiment with STEM concepts physically, all on top of learning programming.


Overall, I handle all of the issues and curriculum of our multiple educational programs within programming.
