Bio
Kyle Chapman
I taught Sarah in two (sort of three) courses in the Computer Programmer Analyst program at Durham College from 2017-2019. Sarah was an extremely motivated student in our program who knew what she was paying for and how to extract value from it; she was always in perfect attendance, sat up front and took ample notes. In classes such as my .NET course with a consultative model, Sarah took every opportunity to improve her own work. Her capstone project was a very strong and complete individual project emphasizing system analysis and web development. While Sarah's grades were excellent, what she really brought to the table was passion and skill related to rapid learning that was an asset to her in our program, in her work at the AI Hub, and (I believe) in her early work at Nortek. I think Sarah could quickly pick up any technology and do something great with it. She has also come back as a panelist and guest speaker with my current students and I am excited for any opportunity to work with her again.

I have always found Sarah to be very diligent and thorough in everything she does, and this makes her an excellent person to have on your team. We have worked on many projects together over the years and Sarah's contributions have not only worked to support the rest of the team, but they never fail to raise the level of quality and offer new insight into whatever we were doing.
