Hi everyone,

So great to have such a great platform to teach through.

I'm Lee-Ann and I live in Wales, UK.

I'm mainly a vocal coach and music teacher, but also have a background in security, health & safety, first aid, care work and a few other random things so I'm looking forward to being able to pass on my knowledge in all of those areas.

I like to hike long distance over the mountains of Wales ...it's fun for me, but everybody else looks like they need a nap after I've shown them some pictures and tell them about my trips. 🤣💜

I've taught many subjects across Computer Science and Software Development over the years, but I've been focusing on Software Product Management in the past few years.

I want to provide my workshops on product strategy for platform businesses in a self-paced course format, so they can reach more learners wherever they are and in their own time!

I can cook many elaborate dishes, of all kinds (meat, fish, vegetarian, ...)...but I can't fry an egg!

Sachie, how awesome that you're trilingual! I wish I had the gift of retaining multiple languages. I'm bilingual (English & Spanish) and in spite of my attempts to learn other languages (French & Portuguese) I didn't have much luck. LOL! I hope you find the community you're searching for.

Hello everyone,

• Who are you? My name is Terry Martin.

• Where are you from? I'm from St. Louis, MO USA

• What is your teaching area? My area (so far) is software development and I have one course published teaching Java. I have over 20 years experience as a professional developer and I've been coding since I was a little kid.

• Why did you join the Instructor Community? To be aware of what's going on.

• Tell us a fun fact about yourself! I'm an aspiring composer. I have an album's-worth of instrumental songs in my head but I only record one every 10-15 years (it seems). At this rate, I'll release one album by the time I'm 90 😉 . I'd share the one and only song I've ever finished well enough to share but I don't think I'm allowed to share URLs (if anyone's interested, search YouTube for "Terry Christopher Martin Lullaby"). Also, I enjoy learning human languages from time-to-time. The primary languages I've dabbled in are Japanese, Korean & French.
