Hi, I'm Emily

I help aspiring programmers master the coding concepts & development skills they need to thrive in a $100K career as a professional software developer, without a degree.


After investing years of time & money earning all the computer science degrees, and failing to learn how to code, I finally taught myself. I figured out that once you master the 7 basics of computer programming & learn a systematic software development process, you can calmly tackle any coding problem and fix bugs with ease.


Since then, I have taught hundreds of students my unique approach to solving coding challenges easily & effortlessly in my role as a university professor. I give my students the software development skills they need to land a $100K starting job & thrive in their careers.


For the first time, I am offering this exclusive knowledge to the world. Let me show you how! My super power is making coding easy & accessible for ANYONE to learn -- just ask my students!

The Joy of Coding Academy is for you if...

  • You are DONE being overwhelmed & confused by every new technology on the block & ready to see RESULTS


  • You are TIRED of searching job sites & applying to jobs 24/7 and NEVER getting call backs


  • You recognize that COMMUNITY & ACCOUNTABILITY can accelerate your learning & help you take your coding to the NEXT LEVEL


  • You are COMMITTED to launching your $100K coding career RIGHT NOW

Are you ready to launch the career of your dreams?

What students are saying...

I always felt supported by Dr. Hill. She believes in the potential of all of her students, and really invests in building our confidence as young technologists. She was always willing to share her personal experiences, candid advice, and contacts.

The real projects we completed truly prepared me for programming at the enterprise level. Additionally, as a disabled woman I always felt encouraged and included by Dr. Hill who is actively making this field a more welcoming place for everyone.

– Ida Behreini, Software Engineer @ Chase

Dr. Hill did an amazing job at making her courses as engaging and interactive as possible. Almost every interviewer I've had has asked about a project that I've done for Dr. Hill's classes, and they were always very interested! If you're not sure about taking any of Dr. Hill's classes, you won't regret it!


Dr. Hill's software development course played a huge role in my college and early career as a professional. Having no internship experience coming out of college, it was this project and others like it that really helped me in getting the opportunities I did.

– Jennifer Benedict, Cybersecurity Analyst

Dr Hill's courses have truly prepared me for a career in software engineering. Many of the projects I participated in within those classes were key points of discussion during interviews. During my first few months on the job I was able to fall back on knowledge gained from Dr. Hill's classes to help inform my decisions and complete my assigned tasks.


Dr. Hill's courses are a great introduction to the world of computer science and software engineering. They are taught at a pace that accommodates individuals of all skill levels / prior knowledge and always incorporate real world use cases for the concepts being taught.

– Andrew Castelluccio, Software Engineer 1 @ Amazon

Dr. Hill takes a uniquely holistic approach to teaching, enabling students to understand concepts deeply and explore further independently. She creates an environment where the immediate matter and tasks at hand are not only covered thoroughly, but also students make use of tools and resources that will allow them to employ that matter deftly.


Some key concepts I learned during Dr. Hill's python course have helped me at my job. For instance, her insistence on clean and 'DRY' code committed modularization to muscle memory for me, and it is invaluable at a company that values the quality of its code.

– Karan Erry, Backend Engineer

Dr. Hill’s python course enhanced my problem-solving skills, which is very important for my career and life. Her mentor style helped me think through & solve puzzling problems. I still remember some of the exercises, five years later!


The project experience helps a lot. It was the first time of doing a software engineering project for me. I learned how to design the back-end system and user experience. More importantly, collaboration with teammates and communicating with clients prepare me for future challenges.

– Daniel Xu, Data Scientist
