My Story

Driven by Determination. When I first applied to college I ambitously persued a Psychology degree, I wanted to make a name for myself, however, I quickly drowned in course material and lack of foundation. Fast-forward many years of trial and error, my efforts of obtaining a degree began to feel like a waste of time, money, and resources. I remember sharing with one of my closest friends of how defeating it felt putting in so much work only to realize the career path I had chosen simply wasn't for me. Since then, I experimented with just about every job under the sun from Salesman, to Contracter, to Electrician, you name it!

After a late diagnosis of ADHD I had to take a step back to evaluate myself and how I could make my diagnosis work in my favor. I explored my interests and tried to build something from that. Eventually, I landed on tech with hopes that I'd find success. I had no idea where to start or what my niche would be but I had a mission.

I started learning Python watching tutorials and taking courses on Udemy pouring close to 8 hours a day studying just trying to build a simple login screen; but I was still missing something, community. After making a post on Twitter looking to join an Agency I'd been seeing alot of called #100Devs, whose goal was to teach the fundamentals of Web Development, I started learning HTML, CSS, & JavaScript. Here I am almost 2 years later and loving every minute of what I do. Between pushing coding solutions daily to building small projects, coding is like a Rubix cube of endless possiblities. I love that everyday could be the same or drastically different depending on what you're working on. My journey may have just begun but as your new Software Engineer, I'll take pride in putting my best foot forward on any development team.
