Teacher expertise and credentials
I have over a decade of experience teaching Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and digital productivity tools to learners of all ages, including professionals at companies like Banco Santander, Pollo Tropical Puerto Rico, and many other organizations. I specialize in making complex tech topics easy and engaging through hands-on learning and real-life scenarios.
In addition to corporate training, I’ve worked extensively with youth and community organizations, including The Children’s Trust, SCORE Broward, and nonprofit agencies across South Florida. I design and lead technology workshops that help children and teens build practical tech skills in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. My approach blends storytelling, visual learning, and gamification to keep students engaged—especially those who are new to Excel or may have different learning needs.
My mission is to empower young learners with tech confidence through interactive and meaningful experiences, like this Excel Mystery Camp.Reviews
