About Me

When I was a Freshman in Highschool in the early 2000s, Coach Miller was a big influence on me. He was my shop teacher, and my math teacher, but most importantly he was my computer teacher. He is the man who introduced me to HTML and CSS. From my first "Hello World" I knew that I loved coding. My life has taken many twists and turns, and I have had many great experiences, but I always find myself being drawn back to Web Development.

In the fall of 2022, I began actively pursuing the knowledge needed to help me start a career in development. In December of 2022, I completed the Front End Engineer career path at Codecademy. I was able to solidify my understanding of HTML and CSS, and gain an intermediate understanding of JavaScript. I also learned some introductory react development, which I would love to continue. It has been an exciting process so far, and I look forward to where this journey will take me!

I am a task driven individual. I will take a project and break it down into manageable tasks, and then work diligently on those tasks until the project is completed. I work well on my own, and I am also a great team player. I am a quick learner and I aim to always be coachable and open to correction and instruction. Learning new things is exciting, and any criticism is viewed as an opportunity to better myself.
