My Why

I do this to to trailblaze a new legacy for my family and other people of color looking to break into tech.

I am 100% authentic in who I am and want to use my passion and energy to help make the world a better place for my daughters and others who didn't have the resources or support to chase their dreams.

I want to change that, I want all dreams to be accessible via tech. I am passionate about opening doors and providing an equitable playing field using No-code.

Teaching & Guest Speaker

I believe knowledge is power and education is a key to success. Education doesn't only need to be in the classroom but should come from real-world experience and mentorship.

I enjoy teaching about product management and software development at the university level with an emphasis on experiential or hands-on learning methodology.
