About me
When I discovered the combo of creativity and problem solving that Front-End Development offers, I looked no further!
Upon graduation from CSU with a Business Marketing degree in hand, I thought doors would open to creative roles that I would love. While I did get to stretch my creative brain in such a role, there was something missing. Over time I wanted to learn something more technical, and my search for another career began.
Nearing the end of my marketing role I got to work on a Word Press site and that’s when it happened; the instant gratification of solving more technical problems fanned a flame that maybe, just maybe, I too could be a super nerd and learn to code. From here I vowed to not doubt my ability to learn technical skills and enrolled in Turing a few months later.
Now being able to build a website from scratch, something I’d never thought possible, learning to code has been one of my greatest accomplishments. Progressing through many projects at Turing I’ve learned tech including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Router, Mocha/Chai, Cypress and more, and I am currently learning TypeScript and GraphQL.
