Victor Kim
I have taught programming to students within private academies and becoming a part of a large organization dedicated to teaching this wonderful field is a wonderful opportunity for me. It is a great feeling knowing that the students who participate in our sessions are learning and having a wonderful time inside their class! I want to make sure that students have the chance to join our sessions and have the opportunity to experience a field that not many of us can have.

Florencia Lee
Assistant Director for CS@SC responsible for day-to-day operations, administrative work and outreach within the program. Committed to spreading interest and enjoyment in computer science amongst our students.

Codi Miller
Codi Miller has been working in K12 coding education for the past 7 years. She ran a company teaching kids computer science and robotics and has written over 10 books on the subject. She is a graduate from the University of Southern California, where she earned her degree in Biology. Her passion to educate bloomed once she realized that the ability to program made a degree in Biology infinitely more valuable. Since then, Codi has worked with numerous education-based organizations. Coupled with being female, a minority, and the mother of young daughters along with their newborn son, she recognizes the need to empower all students in STEM fields no matter their race, gender, or household income.

Trina Gregory

Trina Gregory is an Associate Professor of Information Technology Practice teaching technology, programming, and engineering courses. She began teaching at USC in January 2007 as a part-time lecturer and transitioned to a full-time, teaching-track faculty position in August 2009. Trina created and oversees the Mobile App Development minor. She is also an Associate Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Viterbi Office of Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship. She has taught classes in Java, Python, Swift, and Objective-C programming, web publishing, information technology, mobile apps, and will be teaching python classes for CS@SC this summer.

Dr. Jeffrey Miller
Dr. Jeffrey Miller is a Professor of Computer Science and Information Technology Practice in the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California, and he is the Founder of the CS@SC Summer Camps. With the support of Coach Kathy Kemper of the Institute for Education, Prof. Miller started the camps in 2015 based on the inequity he had seen in computer science and STEM education for K12 students. Public education in the US is supposedly democratized and equal for all, but students who have access to computer science education in California is limited to 1/3 of public high schools, and those schools are typically in more affluent areas. This is unacceptable since ethnicity, gender, or family income has no effect on the success of students in STEM fields, and the CS@SC Summer Camps provide equal opportunity to all students to attend.

Nayeon Kim
Professor Nayeon Kim is a passionate web development teacher, who works with beginners and fellow professionals looking to improve their skills and knowledge of the latest industry standards. As teacher, Nayeon is known for her encouraging approach, walking students through the process of getting familiar with coding, even when they do not come from a tech-orientated background. She has had the opportunity to work with high profile clients, including The Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios, and Fox. Currently, Nayeon teaches web development full time as a lecturer at USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering in the Information Technology Program and will be teaching the web development classes for CS@SC this summer.
