About

I studied electrical engineering and global manufacturing at Boston University and have over 10 years' experience in customer-facing technical roles.

In my first job as an applications engineer, I partnered with customers around the globe. From factory floor to research lab applications, I would customize instruments to meet their requirements, which is where I first discovered my love for the creative and logical process of programming. Then my career took a direction I never imagined and I moved to England for 8 years where I worked as an inside sales manager.

While I enjoyed the consultative nature of technical sales, I missed being hands-on with tech. So when I moved to Cleveland, I started self-learning software development and obtained both the Responsive Web Design and Javascript certificates from freeCodeCamp. I also volunteered at CodeMash and took part in their Capture the Flag competition. Now I am attending Cleveland's coding bootcamp, Tech Elevator, and will be graduating in April 2020.

With my attention to detail, knack for problem solving, and passion for learning, my charge into software development has begun.
