What's Meaningful To Me...
Teaching Assistant
I am a TA and Section Leader for CS10 (Problem Solving using Programming) and now CS30 (Discrete Math) at Dartmouth. I love mentoring studnets and helping them learn and the spark when they first understand something
SEED
I work at the Studio for Emergent Education Design which creates human centered design materials. I've worked on projects on reframing assumptions and a guidebook to help engineering faculty integrate design projects into their courses.
The DALI Lab
DALI lab is a place where I learn and mentor new developers. Our work is for paid clients and we build in fast-paced 10 week terms. Our tech stack includes React/Redux and NodeJS. I'm currently looking forward to starting on an app targeted for farmers
Art Adventures...
↑ Fall vibes in oil paint. I use a 12 inch canvas sketchbook for this stuff 🎨
I've been painting for what feels like forever! These are some things I've made recently. The best thing about art is the opportunity to experiment (the wastepaper basket is a good friend), draw rough sketches and put ideas on paper!
There's something magical about seeing an abstract idea in your head come to life and that's precisely what I love about coding too!
↑ Homemade clay flowers (warning: it gets messy 😉)
↑ This is actually created with natural wax and a bunch of random brush strokes; hence the 3D effect
