About Me

With over 10 years of experience as an account manager, I have worked with and supported people from all walks of life. During this time, I built a reputation for having a solid work ethic and a curiosity that drives me to delve into the details of problems to find creative solutions.

This year, I decided to follow my passion for technology and transition into a new career, enrolling in Dev Academy's Software Development Bootcamp, a rigorous and immersive programme which I graduated from in May. Now, I'm excited to combine my account management experience with my new technical skills in a fresh role.

I'm currently developing a full stack hiking app. This project allows me to apply and expand my skills in web development, while creating a useful tool that provides detailed trail information, event coordination, and community engagement features. It's a practical application of my technical abilities, showcasing my problem-solving skills and commitment to continuous learning. And a good excuse to spend time planning future hikes!
