Carol D.

Private tutor in Madison, WI

Education

I received a B.A. from Carleton College in Northfield, MN. My major was in Computer Science. I also completed a masters degree in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota in the twin cities.

Experience

I have 8 years professional experience in software development at Epic and Google, but now I am looking for work that serves others. I recently volunteered as a tutor with the Literacy Network for a semester and as a computer science mentor for two middle-school girls through Maydm; I found both experiences intensely rewarding. Personally, I believe that all intelligence is contextual and that hard work is a much more important to for success than talent. SATs verbal: 800, math: 780.
