AP CSA, ECS, MLH, and CS&R Instructor

As the head of the Computer Science pathway here at Franklin High, I hope to encourage my students to pursue a career in computer science. I started out teaching Math after graduating from the University of California, Davis, but slowly moved towards robotics and computer science, where I found engaged students learning more about mathematics. I've since worked as a CTE teacher with Franklin, finding any opportunities for my students to involve themselves with technology.

Hear what past students have to say.

I enjoy collaborating with others, trying to figure out the labs and fixing the errors we have. The content of the class intrigues me because I feel machine learning is going to be a major part of our future and learning it early will benefit us.

I liked the fact that labs followed every instruction in class. I really enjoyed collaborating with my peers on solving errors in the labs. I liked the fact that labs allowed me to practice the skills I learned in class, and allowed me to tackle new problems as well.
