I've had quite a bit of experience mentoring both in companies and open source communities. Perhaps the largest impact I've had mentoring was when organizing the PDXNodeJs user group. Our group split the meeting time between community talks and nodeschool/hack nights. With nodeschool I would help newcomers to the nodeJS platform work through a variety of challenges. For the past 3 years, I've been active on many open source projects and irc channels offering assistance in any way I can. I've had many experiences onboarding new programmers to companies as well as guiding them in their own personal projects. Recently I have served as a mentor to my partner's inclusive hacking group, "hacker witch". I have a passion for teaching. I find it particularly interesting how I can change my actions and language in order to help assist the learning process of those around me.
