About
In 2022, I decided it was time to take on something new. I took a swing at learning to code and just 3 months in I found myself teaching others how to take on the wild world of development. Fast-forward to today, I have taught hundreds of students to code and have had the privilege of re-imagining the website for the bootcamp who taught me to code in the first place.
My main focus these days is designing and building pages for my clients. In my free time I've been working on a real-time collaborative coding challenge platform for learners to level up while seeking help from experienced developers.
On the off chance that I'm not glued to screens, I am either playing with my 3 crazy dogs, cooking something spicy, or exploring nature with my fiancée.
