Reeves, an IT consultant and founder of Kids Next Code LLC. I graduated from Ga Southern University in 2010 with a degree in Information Technology and I graduated from Central Michigan University with an MBA in 2013. I have worked in IT for over 10 years with various companies such as SunTrust Bank, Coca-Cola Enterprises, the Georgia Lotto, and Fulton County schools to name a few. Technology, education, and entrepreneurship have always been what I am most passionate about. I started the Kids Next Code organization in 2016, and we have currently taught STEM and tech related classes such as coding, web design, mobile app design, and robotics to over 600 students (ages 5-18) in Georgia and New York. We have current partnerships with Dekalb County Sheriff's department, and Clayton County & Fulton County Library branch. Kids Next Code is an opportunity for me to leverage the passion I have for technology, education, and entrepreneurship while impacting the lives of the youth in our community who need these skills to be competitive in a tech driven society.
