Background

About Emily S.

Hi, I'm a fast-learning, versatile full-stack software engineer trained by Ada Developer's Academy. I'm especially interested in mobile development, back-end programming and educational/habilitative tech applications. I'm a curious, hardworking problem solver, multitasker, and cross-cultural communicator with a diverse background in program management, human services, teaching, and international development. I'm also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Thailand 2015-17) with a strong management and international studies background. I have an International MBA from Monterey Institute of International Studies and several years of international experience in Europe and Asia. The bulk of my career has been in human services and education, with a broad range of experience including special education, autism spectrum disorders, program management, applied behavior analysis, transition planning and curriculum development, life skills and vocational education, Zen practice, youth development, English as a foreign language education, and case management. I'm a people-loving introvert with a passion for problem-solving and making the world better.
