About me
Throughout my 10 year career in the natural food & beverage industry, I discovered my passion for serving others. And along the way, I picked up an invaluable skill set focused on communication, collaboration, and adaptability. I've pivoted my career to front-end software engineering where my focus is building dynamic, functional, and inclusive applications using empathy-driven and test-driven development. As a team member, I'm an active listener and prioritize the collective to contribute to an awesome user experience.
I'm looking to connect with cutting-edge companies that share my passion for creating widely accessible applications, encourage personal and professional growth, and promote diversity and equality in the workplace. In my free time, you can find me recharging my soul through rollerblading, live music, dancing, and sunshine.
