Bio

I am a full-stack software developer with a passion for building educational web applications. Prior to programming, I worked as an ESL educator (PK-12 and tertiary) and strove to broadly increase efficiency in my schools’ systems through technology. I love working with stakeholders to identify requirements and create apps that empower teachers, students, parents, and school administrators. I am a lifelong learner, and constantly work to improve my own abilities so that I can better serve others.
