Experiences

Sam obtained his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the University of the Incarnate Word. After deciding that Economics was not what he wanted to do, he left the UW-Madison masters program after one year to pursue a career as a math teacher. He taught math to high school students for 5+ years before he decided it was time for a change.

He is currently breaking into the tech world upon discovering his love for programming as a hobby. After taking some time to really think about if this is a potential career, he took a couple of Python bootcamps including Angela Yu's 100 Days of Code. He hopes to use his triumphs and struggles throughout his career towards helping others build their own path to success.
