About Me

Image

I'm a Seattle-based Web Developer and Designer with a non-traditional coding background. I studied international relations and leadership in college, though my job experiences include systems analyst, designer, and full-stack developer primarily in the non-profit and tech sectors. I am a 2015 alumna of General Assembly's Web Development Immersive, and I've also completed a certificate of Web Design through Sessions College for Professional Design. I love building web experiences that are effortless for users, and enjoy solving design problems through code. When I'm not coding, you can probably find me exploring Seattle with my family, enjoying a good book, trying out a new way to make coffee, or playing soccer.
