About me
About My prior career as a Radiologic Technologist was an enlightening experience that taught me a lot about myself and the healthcare industry. I found that my main motivator when considering a career is helping others in need and working with intriguing technologies to achieve this goal. The past 4 years working in this field helped me realize that some of my greatest strengths involved problem-solving and the ability to work with a team in a high-stress environment.
While this career has been both exciting and fulfilling, I found that I still have an urge within to continue to learn more outside this profession. After some engaging discussions with friends who work as software developers and trying it out on my own, I found programming to be a fascinating way to utilize my problem-solving skills and as a way to access my creativity. This newfound interest has brought me to become a student at the Turing School of Software and Design.
As I begin my transition into a new career path, I look forward to continuing to learn more within this field and finding new opportunities where I can hone the skills I've learned thus far, such as using Javascript, HTML, CSS, and testing with the Mocha and Chai frameworks, as well as leveraging my past experience to work toward creating new ways to support others.

Project Planner
Project Planner
Tools Used
This app is called Project Planner and was created by a front-end team of 3 developers, which I was apart of, and a back-end team of 4 developers. The primary technologies we used on the front-end side were React, TypeScript, and Cypress for testing. The purpose is to help junior devs who want to shorten their planning process for a new project and be able to get to code sooner. The main goals of this project were to be able to implement AI into an application and to work with dedicated front-end and back-end teams. My main contribution was figuring out how to display the data we were receiving from the back-end onto a results page for the user to see, which led to many discussions with the back-end team around how the JSON contract would look and what kind of data types each value would be.

Bart's Binge
Tools Used
This project is called 'Bart's Binge' which was a solo project using primarily React, JavaScript, and Cypress for testing. This app acts as an archive for the early seasons of The Simpsons. The main goal of this project was to showcase the fundamentals of React and Cypress in a short time frame of a week. One feature I was excited about implementing was having random top-rated episodes on the homepage and being able to re-roll them out. This led to a function that had to have a few logical conditions to ensure that no duplicate episodes appeared and each episode's rating was above a specific number.
