Building the Bridge
How a free digital literacy initiative became a tech career pipeline — and what happened to the people who walked through it.
i.c.stars Teachers Bureau · New Moms · GECDC · Urban Tech Academy

Most digital literacy programs treat access as the finish line. I built something different: a bridge model that connected where people actually were to where technology could take them — with trust, community, and a clear pathway forward. One participant came to class right after being jumped. He still came. He went on to pitch a startup to funders.

The Infrastructure Nobody Built
How a junior QA analyst built the knowledge systems her peers needed to survive — and learned to end a three-team war by reading what was actually at stake.
ThoughtWorks · Southwest Airlines · Manheim Auto Auction

Developers at ThoughtWorks had coaches, mentors, and documentation. Quality Analysts had almost nothing. She built the knowledge infrastructure herself — then turned it into a shared resource that changed how QAs were supported and paid across the organization. As a Senior QA, she was brought in to untangle a three-team conflict at a Fortune 500 client during a company reorg, and pivoted from teaching methodology to helping teams survive.
