ABOUT ME

I grew up city in the trees, and a populous so diverse, it is impossible not to fall in love with. After graduating from Grady High School (now known as Midtown High) I joined the Georgia Army National Guard, and attended the University of North Georgia. I received a Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice and a Paralegal Certificate from the University of Georgia. Then in 2021 I married the love of my life.

HOW I LEARNED

Completed the boot camp program of Vets Who Code. This boot camp has provided me strong knowledge of GitHub, HTML, CSS, the principles of UI/UX, Javascript and now React. Pushing forward I am always seeking to practice what I have learned and gain more skills!

WHY THE CHANGE?

Although my initial plan was to work in the legal field, as many mid-twenties know, things don't always go according to plan. After five years in the legal field I decided it was time to move on. The tech field was always an interest of mine, and enjoyed how software development works. It allows me a creative space and pushes me to become better.
