Hello & welcome!

One door closes, another opens

2020 was a rough year for many, myself included. I was fortunate to keep my job for a few months after lockdowns began in March. My team and I worked from home until the organization decided to lay us off. As difficult as it was to leave a job I had been with for 5 years, I knew I wanted something different, something more than what my old position offered me.

After some time off, I jumped into job searching. I happened to see an ad for a coding boot camp while scrolling through social media and my interest was piqued. I did some research, and before too long I had signed up for a workshop series with SheCodes. Taking those first steps into web development taught me that I love to code!

I am looking for any junior web developer positions or freelance work that will allow me to to flex my skills and continue to increase my coding knowledge while gaining valuable experience.

Some of my coding skills:
  • HTML 5
  • CSS 3
  • JavaScript / ES6
  • Responsive builds
  • Bootstrap, Flexbox
  • React / JSX
  • GitHub
  • APIs
  • Hosting with Netlify
