About me
My journey is a testament to the belief that it's never too late to pursue new horizons. From forecasting weather as an Air Force meteorologist to inspiring students in the classroom as a math teacher, each chapter of my life has been about embracing change and seeking out new challenges.
After dedicating nearly a decade to education, where I not only shared my love for math but also coached sports, leading a middle school girls' basketball team to an undefeated season, I'm now venturing into the tech world. Currently immersing myself in Front End Web Development at Turing School of Software and Design, I'm excited to blend my diverse experiences into this new path.
This career shift into software development is driven by my innate curiosity and a desire for continuous growth. My background has equipped me with a unique perspective on problem-solving and a resilience that fuels my approach to learning and professional development.
Adaptability, a lifelong commitment to learning, and the ability to thrive in dynamic environments define my journey. From the discipline of the military to the creativity required in education, and now the innovation in tech, I'm ready to bring my unique blend of skills and experiences to the world of software development, eager to contribute and make a meaningful impact.
