I also had the opportunity to teach software training classes to Coca-Cola's diverse employees. I went on to apply my marketing skills at two innovative technology startups, helping one firm raise $30M in venture capital funding. During my work in microbusiness development I taught marketing and business skills to budding entrepreneurs and helped raise $1M in technology and other grant funding for a growing University-based non-profit organization. This position also provided me with the opportunity to continue my work in curriculum design and classroom facilitation and reaffirmed my passion for teaching and training.
