About me

I'm new to the tech industry coming from very-client focused jobs before this. At Starbucks I loved connecting with customers and making people's days better. From that industry I gained lifelong skills in communication, organization, and leadership. I also worked as a hairstylist which further honed my client-focused communication skills. I have a passion for problem solving, design and the process of learning new skills.
