The Basics

I have had a passion for web design and development since I was a journalism student at the University of Kansas. After graduating, I became an educator while coding as a hobby. For several years, I focused on learning the fundamentals of HTML, CSS and Javascript through self-instructed programming courses like The Odin Project, Code Academy and Treehouse.

After learning the basics and specifying my coding interests, I took the next step and enrolled in the University of Kansas' Full Stack Web Development bootcamp. This intensive program extensively covered a wide range of trending front and backend technologies. It provided the skills that allowed me to leap from coding as a hobby to a full stack developer with a valuable, extensive skillset.

Take a look at the technologies I'm currently using and the projects I'm currently working on. I am always looking for new things to learn and new problems to solve. If you're looking for a team member that is willing to keep learning and growing as a developer, get in touch.
