With a passion for functionality, I approach every challenge as an opportunity to learn and improve.

I am someone who has always been enamored with understanding how things function. Throughout my time in school math and science classes were always favorites because they gave me the tools to better understand the mechanisms and systems present in our world. Growing up in the age of the internet I was always curious how the games I played and websites I visited worked and even put learning to code on a bucket list I was asked to make in the sixth grade. As my education continued I was never exposed to how this fundamental aspect of my life worked. So I took it upon myself to better understand what software development was and began to learn Python. I immediately fell in love with the idea that I could write scripts to do whatever I pleased and knew instantly it was going to be my career.

In order to fast-track my entry into the field, I enrolled in General Assembly’s Software engineering immersive course where for the next three months I spent seventy hours a week receiving hands-on training from industry professionals and working on projects with like-minded individuals. Having graduated from the course I have continued my learning while volunteering my skillset to local non-profits. While I haven’t decided what sector I want to work in, I know that I want my work to directly benefit people in their day-to-day lives.
