About me
My background working in studio environments, event organizing, sales, and service management for over 15 years have prepared me to love taking on a challenge! I love traveling, cooking for friends and gardening.
Throughout my time in Turing, I have balanced self-teaching new concepts integrated in group projects and brought my attention to detail and capacity for empathy to help coordinate teams successfully. I'm interested in roles such as Front End Engineer, Web Developer, or UX designer to develop software focused on accessibility and building platforms that can foster inclusive collaboration.

Mixtape is a project that uses a collection of albums from the 80s to create a nostalgic "mixtape" of your favorite songs from the decade. A user can choose the year to see specifically the curation of best albums from that time period and see a refined selection. From there, the user can choose a specific album to see its track list and select a song to add to the playlist on the main page.
We focused our efforts on creating an easy-to-use and accessible web app for the user while integrating newly self-taught TypeScript. Responsive design, Cypress testing, React Router and the Discogs API with an OAuth were utilized in the creation of this application. We collaboratively designed the final concept, the user stories of UI/UX, the wireframe for the structure of the React app and aesthetic design choices. Sharing resources for self-teaching on TypeScript was vital to our progress with this application and we benefited from tutorials, youtube videos, and Github TypeScript resources.

Tools Used
A world bakery at your fingertips! A full-stack project that integrates Leaflet mapping to generate an interactive map in which a user can select a country and discover breads with recipes from that region. Our first time working in a full-stack team, we utilized Miro and established a solid foundation of design and communication. Built with TypeScript and React in an 11 day sprint, the backend team also built two servers, one in Ruby on Rails and another in C# .NET. We tested the Front End using Cypress and ensured web responsiveness and accessibility throughout our development process. We are currently building more features and functionality including an AI generated database rather than using manually seeded data.
