About me
I am an eclectic creative with an objective-analytical thought process. Although that may seem contradictory, I've found that using a logic-based approach to tasks while allowing myself to be creative and use my imagination brings me joy, and I cannot wait to bring this combination to the field of software.
I have 20+ years of experience in various customer service fields, 6+ years in the Veterinary Medical field, and time in many leadership positions, including as Chapter President of the International Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa. These experiences have given me effective communication skills and an intuitive compassionate way of interacting with others. I bring these skills with me when collaborating on a team or when connecting with people in my personal life. Despite my many years in other career fields, I look forward to using my skill base as a Software Developer in the hopes that I will be able to contribute in creating something that will help to improve the lives of many people.
