Bio

Hi, I’m Akash! In May 2014 I went on a full-tuition scholarship to Temple University. I graduated in May 2018 with a BA in Film and Media Arts and minor in Digital Media Technologies.

At 21, I moved to Los Angeles and worked in entry level film industry roles, including Post PA on "Larry Charles' Dangerous World of Comedy." Check it out now on Netflix!

Just before my 23rd birthday, inspired by HBO's "Vice The Future of Work,” I came home to New Jersey to do the 15 week Network Support program at Per Scholas Newark, a NY-based nonprofit that provides tech skills for free.

Resourcefulness allowed me to excel through Cycle 4 of Newark 2019. I now get to lead learners with Per Scholas remotely, in CompTIA A+, Network+, and Google IT Support. I am able to succeed by practicing emotional intelligence, and gamification, in my remote teaching approach.

I love bridging the digital divide through technical training. When I’m not teaching I’m walking, reading, or writing.
