Biography
I first started coding when I was a teenager and that is also the same time I started learning web design. Things were a lot different back then. I’ve been working in the web design and development industry for almost a decade. I was given the opportunity to be an adjunct professor at Reading Area Community College. That is where I realized how much of a passion I have for teaching. It is my goal to make sure each and every one of my students leaves here ready to start a career in web design.
