“My focus is to touch students’ lives in a way that changes their future.”
Dr Michelle Traveler(she/her)Computer Information Systems Faculty
Mesa Community College
Dr Michelle Traveler exposes people from diverse backgrounds to tools that can create new opportunities. She’s seen firsthand how developing apps with Swift gives students not just a leg-up, but the confidence and skills required in a competitive workforce. Dr Traveler incorporates the Develop in Swift curriculum into her semester-long courses, using Apple’s free guides and materials to support students of all levels — from those new to Swift to those seeking advanced skills in Xcode. She challenges students to apply their expertise to issues they care about, so they can make an impact on the world as they build experience and portfolios.
