I used to make maps - now I code! I am a developer with experience harnessed from a learning sabbatical I took to change careers. I attended Flatiron School and General Assembly where I learned relevant and modern web development techniques. I have a growth mindset and am highly motivated! I enjoy an environment of creativity and collaboration.
