About me
I am an outgoing, passionate and friendly Back End Engineer based in Denver, CO. With a degree in Hospitality Management, over 8 years of working in that industry and 6 years in Marketing, my ability to work in teams and focus on achieving a common goal is one of my greatest assets.
In 2020 I was laid off as an Event Producer due to Covid and that spearheaded my decision to change my career path. I went on to become an Administrative Assistant to the Chancellor at University of Denver, but I still felt like I was not where I was supposed to be.
After researching and speaking with alumni I decided to attend Turing School of Software & Design to learn Back End Software Engineering. I was ecstatic to enter a field where I feel like growth knows no limits. I am passionate about creating an experience for people and I am hoping to bring my great teamwork and eager to join a company dedicated to impactful work.

This is an app to explore recipes by country, add recipes to their "favorites" and indulge themselves in learning resources for desired countries.

I implemented Basic Authentication and used Webmock and VCR to stub requests to limit repeating requests.
