Graphic designer => software developer. Nerd. Artist. Mental health advocate. Any way I can use my new skills to help someone who may be struggling is my dream. That is the way. < Bonus if you know that reference.

I did graphic design professionally for 20 years before a series of events tore me down. As part of my healing I took a chance on myself, my future, my family and entered a development bootcamp. Not knowing where it would lead or even if I could do it. Months later I graduated knowing how to code, how to think as a developer and knowing a TON about myself. I don’t know where this journey will go but I know I am in it to build tools to help lift others up. My family has been so supportive I’m ready to be able to help us level up too.

Budding data scientist, fascinated by automation, intrigued by economics.

I have spent many years in the hospitality industry, most of which was in the bar and restaurant world. My favorite part of those jobs was having the ability to fabricate and create something that would bring joy and happiness to a guest. I have been a valuable asset to virtually every employer I've had over this part of my career. I'm looking forward to fulfilling a similar role in the tech sector, this time building and creating tools to make business decision-making better.
