      Coding Boot Camp Teaching Assistant & Tutor

      The Northwestern Coding Boot Camp is a full-time, 12-week fullstack immersive program focused on the MERN stack. As a TA and one-on-one tutor, I am constantly interpreting and debugging different code bases, reinforcing core concepts, and generally supporting students in any way that I can. I have also had the opportunity to host extracurricular review sessions with students outside of regular class time as well as contribute to the program's curriculum.
