Hi, I’m Chi, and I’m passionate about simplifying complex concepts and empowering others through education and collaboration. As an instructor at Houston Community College, I’ve developed and delivered engaging courses on topics like virtualization, IT security, and business applications (Microsoft office), tailoring my approach to meet the needs of diverse audiences. I specialize in creating dynamic learning environments, building resources that accelerate understanding, and fostering connections that help individuals and teams succeed. Whether I’m teaching students or supporting professionals, my focus is always on enabling growth and innovation through accessible and impactful instruction.
I hold an MBA in Cybersecurity from Baylor University, an M.S. in Information Systems from the University of Phoenix, and a B.S. in Computer Information Systems and Security from Our Lady of the Lake University, where I consistently achieved academic excellence, including recognition on the Dean’s List. My professional experience spans roles as an instructor, web developer, and quality assurance engineer, where I’ve developed technical training modules, streamlined API integrations, and improved system reliability through Agile processes. These experiences have honed my skills in cross-functional collaboration, process optimization, and creating impactful technical resources tailored to diverse audiences.
