Who I am & What I am doing

I am an aspiring web developer and soon to be a recent graduate of the Web Development Career Path Bootcamp at Bloc. With my passion for web design and love to create for web and mobile devices, I would love to have the opportunity to be able to work on a team with great programmers to continue to learn from a knowledgeable community. Originally from Chicago, I now spend the winter months in San Juan, Puerto Rico with my Black English Labrador puppy!

Previously, I attended Newbury College in Boston studying Communications. I have worked for Financial Companies focusing on Public Relations, Media Relations, Investor Relations, and Communications. Then I found out how cool web development was and decided to make it my full-time job. If I’m not in front of my laptop, I am probably going on a new adventure, golfing, reading on the beach, or trying to teach my puppy new tricks!
