I do and teach what I love, and I love what I teach and do.

I got my first computer back in 1982, which was a Commodore 128. I thought i was hot stuff because my dad only had the Commodore 64! 🙂 In 1987, I was one of a handful of students at my university who had a computer. Even when I became an 8th grade American Studies teacher in 1997, I was only one of another handful of teachers who used a computer in and for class. When I joined the U.S. Army at the age of 30 in 1999, and because I already had so much experience with computers and the Internet, they decided to make me a webmaster, and the first websites I created were completely hand-coded with HTML. After I left active duty service in 2006, I became a technology trainer in the Washington, DC, area, training others to use (X)HTML(1-5), CSS(1-3), Bootstrap, XML, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP/MySQL, Adobe applications, like Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Muse and Photoshop, to design/develop websites for personal, business and government use. I also use WordPress extensively and teach WordPress classes. I use social media on a daily basis and also teach social media classes, which include "Social Media Overview" and "Marketing with Social Media." I was also a web design instructor at Northern Virginia Community College from February 2011 to March 2018, and briefly took on an adjunct instructor position at The Art Institute of Virginia Beach to teach web design, interface design and social media courses. These days, I'm doing my own thing with teaching/training all the things and more that I taught/trained when working with other companies/colleges.

"She fixed in 10 seconds what could have taken a lot longer. Always better to hire experience because they know the tricks that will solve your problem fast. Faydra rocks!"

"We are a medical training program in the Harvard system that needed a rapid overhaul of our website including a new domain name, new hosting and completely new content/navigation. Faydra would describe this as our "address," our "land," and our "house." Our team knowledge-base regarding web development ranges from novice to experienced. We chose Faydra because she was able to explain things in simple terms and promised to be hands-on and responsive to any question or request. Faydra did not disappoint. Our experience with her was outstanding. She built a site from scratch that met our expectations completely, both from a functional and aesthetic standpoint. No question was ever too basic or too complex. Faydra gave excellent advice and we always felt that she had our best interest in mind. She is a wonderful teacher, very patient and very skilled. I would recommend her work to anyone, especially if you are a novice and have no experience in website development. Faydra will make sure you're taken care of. She gets the Harvard South Shore 100% seal of approval with no reservations -- we would happily recommend her to any of our sister programs."

"It's very tough to find someone on Upwork who is a true pleasure to deal with. Faydra had been a true professional and a pleasure to deal with. Went above and beyond the scope of the project and helped me with things I didn't even know I needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her services for any upcoming projects."
