About me

A little dorky, super crafty, obsessed with raccoons, but very charming and excited at the opportunity to immerse myself in the world of software engineering. I've always loved a good mystery and have found being a developer to be a great way to utilize and improve my logistical and problem solving skills. I'm interested in improving my front end knowledge and creating tech that is enjoyable to use.

As a former cosmetologist and customer service representative I have loads of experience working with clients, which over the years has allowed me to refined my communication and team building skills. I'm more than a little passionate about the user experience and make it a focal point in all of my work. Ever curious, I lead with my inquisitiveness so be ready for me to hit you with all of my questions as my excitable self nerds out on code with you.

A fun random anime quote generating application that acts as a muse to help spark the inspiration for a users next fan fiction. This solo asynchronous JavaScript/React project was the first time we were responsible for coming up with and testing a project all on our own. End-to-end Cypress testing was utilized to thoroughly test the user flow.
