About Katrina

💻 From the Keyboard to the Classroom, one Byte at a time 🍎

Currently based in Kelowna, British Columbia, I serve as an Education Technology Coordinator, collaborating with faculty and staff to maintain a dynamic tech ecosystem within the school. My passion lies in equipping elementary school students with critical 21st-century skills, offering lessons in data analysis, digital literacy, and coding.

I thrive in the duality of my roles: preparing students for a tech-driven future, while supporting the school community with everything from hardware troubleshooting to network security. As a woman in tech, I'm particularly driven to inspire young minds, showing them the vast possibilities technology offers before they think that path is closed to them.

When I'm not in the classroom or working on personal coding projects, you can likely find me at the skating rink, on a dance floor, or experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen. I believe in pushing myself out of my comfort zone, embracing the thrill of growth and discovery.

I have my eyes set on spearheading projects within the EdTech space, leveraging my skills in full-stack web development, UX design, and education. I'm excited by the prospects of contributing to a future where technology is not only innovative but also ethical and safe for young users. With a focus on UX, HCI, and product management, I’m driven to create educational tools that empower students to be creators, not just consumers, while ensuring their digital experiences are secure and responsible.
