I teach. I tell stories. I sing. I build communities. I ask hard questions. I critically assess teaching practices to improve learning outcomes. I was briefly involved with the first AfriCHI, 10 years ago as a graduate student. I am a board member of SIGCSE and typically publish at its conferences.
