About me
Curiosity, persistence and passion have been guiding forces in my life. Finding new ways to learn and teach others, identifying new problems to solve and helping my community to be kind and understanding are where my passions lie. In my past experience I worked a myriad of different jobs ranging from being a veterinary assistant to being an emergency communications specialist in a military-adjacent call center. Whether my time was spent working at a vet, caring for patients who weren't able to speak for themselves or working through hard news with service members all over the world under The American Red Cross, my strength lies in creating a genuine, empathic connection. To me, being a developer means that I can always learn more, that I can help others work through complex problems and that I can create a lasting connection with a team through coding.
