Have you ever wondered what it's like to go from teaching school-aged children to imparting life lessons on inmates at a correctional facility? That's the leap I've been navigating. Trust me when I say it's a unique journey, filled with challenging transitions, lessons in communication, and yes, even an aspiration to master the game of chess. Tune in as I share the gritty details of my shift from K-12 education, the struggle to become a better communicator, and my unwavering commitment to help those in the correctional facility transition back into society.

Brace yourself for a tale of continuous growth as I unravel my journey of learning to code and my dedication to help others, even when there are risks involved. Hear my spirited discussions with a retired educator, and the wisdom she imparted that made me realize how we often fail to communicate and learn from each other. But most importantly, understand the passion driving me to teach inmates about life beyond prison walls, showing them how to navigate the world, and their potential to succeed once out on the streets. This is the story of my path - from teaching kids in a classroom setting to guiding inmates towards a better, crime-free future.
