About me

History major who wanted a more exciting direction and found it in coding. I love problem-solving and expanding my horizons, whether it be broadening my coding skillset or picking up new hobbies like archery, chess, or learning a foreign language.

Although starting down the history path, I quickly learned it was more of a hobby than an appealing career choice. Searching for something that checked all the boxes of an enjoyable, sustainable career, I found myself tuning into day 1 at Turing last August. Now graduated from the course, I look forward to crafting a career centered around continuously learning, building strong connections, and utilizing my skills to contribute towards a common goal of my future team.

Bibliotheca Sundeliana is a web app that allows users to interact with a bible verse API to view any verse in the Bible, both in English and Latin. Users can also favorite each verse and view their favorited verses all at once. This app was a 4-day long showcase project through Turing to showcase how my comfortability with React, data-fetching, and website-styling has progressed 3/4 of the way through the course.

Dirtr is an application which simulates users, allows you to take control of a user account, and utilize an app to find/favorite offroading trails in Colorado. This project is our final group project at Turing, working alongside backenders to make a truly from-scratch full-stack app. This is purely the Front End repo.
