Teaching
Beginning in Fall 2026, I will be teaching computer science and computer applications courses at Onondaga Community College and the Community College of Vermont. My goal is to give students a practical foundation they can use in future courses, professional work, and their own projects.
Courses I Am Teaching
CSC 111
Fundamentals of Computing I
Onondaga Community College
Fall 2026
An introduction to programming and problem solving using Java. Students build a foundation in program design, variables, control flow, methods, arrays, and objects while learning how to write, test, and improve their own programs.
CSC 112
Fundamentals of Computing II
Onondaga Community College
Fall 2026
A continuation of CSC 111 focused on object-oriented programming, modular class design, data structures, and algorithms. Students work with stacks, queues, lists, trees, recursion, searching, sorting, maps, sets, and exception handling.
CIS 1041
Computer Applications
Community College of Vermont
Fall 2026
A hands-on introduction to office applications for computers and mobile devices. Students develop practical skills with cloud applications, file management, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, accessibility, and the ethical use of generative AI in the workplace.
Research and Project Experience
My teaching is supported by experience across software development, data-focused projects, and hands-on academic research.
NASA Chikungunya Outbreak Graph Database
Academic Project
Built a Neo4j graph database that combined NASA weather and time datasets with reported chikungunya outbreak data. I mapped relationships between environmental conditions and outbreak clusters, then designed ingestion pipelines to merge the datasets and make those relationships easier to analyze.
Summer Scholar UI and Regex Analysis Project
Siena College
Created a new interface for a data-driven internal tool, researched Typeahead libraries, and developed regular expression handling that connected user input to values stored in a database for dynamic search and pattern analysis.
Research Assistant
Siena College
Participated in laboratory procedures, reviewed published studies with other students, and operated advanced equipment including a Raman spectroscopy laser. This experience helped shape how I approach technical research, documentation, and collaborative problem solving.
