Biography
Andrew has had a passion for math and science for as long as he can remember. It was no surprise he fell in love with computer science after taking an introductory course in high school. Initially, Andrew had aspirations of starting his own company like his father, and it was not until his sophomore year in college that he became interested in education.
As a teaching assistant within Bucknell’s Computer Science department, Andrew’s passion for teaching grew rapidly. He would teach lessons and he even wrote his own code to automatically grade assignments, much to the relief of his fellow TAs. After graduating from Bucknell University in 2019, Andrew immediately started taking education courses at the University of the Pacific. Andrew tries to create a classroom that encourages exploration and creativity. He enjoys working with other teachers to make lessons that apply computer science to everyday situations.
