I am a curious, creative, software developer and lifelong learner with a background in education. My career as a teacher has taught me a lot about leadership, people, patience, and collaboration, but tech has always had my eyes and heart. I have built projects using Git and front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, AJAX, React, React-Native, and Redux as well as projects using back-end technologies such as Node.js, Knex.js, and PostgreSQL. I am now searching for a position in web development.

For the past several years I have spent my free time in 3D printing, CAD design, flying drones, and exposing young people to newer technologies through my Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) club. I also follow several science fiction, fantasy and dramatic films and television shows. Among other things, I love to travel to interesting places, meet interesting people, and bike around the city.
