About Me

I am a prospective Front End Web Developer who strives to develop innovative software solutions by engaging problems through a lens of both creative and technical expertise.

As a writer, I believe telling stories and solving problems exist as two sides of the same coin, and innovation comes from inventive implementation of long-established patterns and from stunning turns of phrase as blocks of language are rearranged in clever ways.

It’s with this mindset that I delve into front-end development; not just to solve problems, but to develop stand-out solutions, while prioritizing beauty, accessibility and a seamless and satisfying user experience.

Education

Pursuing my lifelong passion in writing, I attended Emory University where I majored in Creative Writing. There I received a Bachelors of the Arts, and graduated Summa Cum Laude, before my desire to expand my creative skill set beyond the written word pushed me toward the world of software development.

After a few years spent self-teaching and developing personal projects, I continued my education at Midlands Technical College, seeking to build a stronger technical foundation. In August of 2023, I received an Associates of Science in Computer Technology - Web Development, graduating Summa Cum Laude for maintaining a perfect GPA.
