Meet The Trainers

Born and raised in the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico, Jean Aponte has a background as a Spanish teacher for children where he integrated technology into his dynamic and innovative lessons. This teaching experience became the cornerstone of his transition to a technology trainer for senior adults, where he joyfully demystifies technology as a Bilingual Technology Trainer at The Senior Source in Dallas.
