Modesto, California, United States
At Digital NEST, I’m apart of the Web & Information Technology (WIT) pathway, where I develop and implement curriculum tailored to youth aged 17 to 24, focusing on Web Development, Front-End Development, UX/UI, and preparing students for industry-recognized certifications. My role involves not only teaching but also mentoring and advising young individuals from working-class communities, helping them to build technical skills and launch their careers in tech.
Key responsibilities include creating and updating course materials to reflect the latest industry standards, facilitating weekly lab sessions, and coaching students towards on-the-job training positions. Additionally, I engage with local high schools, community colleges, and community leaders to recruit new participants and raise awareness of our programs.
In this role, I am passionate about empowering the next generation of tech talent and helping them achieve their dreams by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and mentorship needed to succeed in today's digital economy.
