Intel Computer Clubhouse Coordinator

Personal Information:
Why Do I Teach?:
To empower the youth I work with to want more out of life. So often the youth I work with have lost hope and sight on what's important, they think that violence is a way to solve problems, yelling is a way to be heard, and acting out as a way to be seen. I simply want to expose them to the different facets of LIFE.
