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. 🤣💜

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.

[MiggyRod]

Hey Terry! Cool song and I'm not sure it matters how old you are as long as you don't let your dream die inside you. Keep sharing that gift every opportunity you get. 

[Teaguy101]

Youre amazing 😄

[Teaguy101]

"Human languages"? Theres more non human languages? Lol

[tcmartin24]

Sure. I'm a computer programmer. We program (or code) in various computer languages.

Hello Beautiful Souls! 

My name is Migdalia (Miggy) Rodriguez.

I currently live in North Carolina, USA.

I'm a former educator/school counselor (20+ years) that took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship as an empowerment coach/healing practitioner. I just joined the instructor community so I haven't taught anything yet but working on a program to teach and share tools for women on empowerment and personal development from the perspective of energy. 

I'm a gypsy soul at heart. Born in Puerto Rico but have lived in the US most of my life (WI, OH and NC) but feel the Southwest calling me now, so considering moving again.  I love adventure, hiking, traveling and to me home is where the heart is.  

As a newbie, I'd welcome any insights, pointers and perspectives on creating and sharing courses through Udemy!

Have a magnificent day!
