Bio
I have always had a genuine curiosity of how systems work, which drove me to pursue an engineering curriculum in both high school and college. During my undergrad at Colorado State University, I took four semesters of engineering, before switching majors and finishing out with a Bachelor of Science degree in Restoration Ecology. I chose this field of study to hopefully help in addressing our looming climate & environmental crises. While earning my degree, a fellow student and I developed a university-recognized independent study called The Echo in 2015, which we would later nurture into an educational 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization. I still serve as The Echo's Director of Media Production, overseeing a variety of contributions to public education about animals, the latest of which has been our podcast One Wild World.
Beyond my education and work in the nonprofit sector, I have also garnered a diversity of professional experience in my local art community. As co-founder & drummer-producer for progressive rock band Chess at Breakfast, I was instrumental (pun intended) in the development of a sustainable music business. In addition to my work with the band, I spearheaded numerous cross-disciplinary projects within the broader art community, utilizing my extensive network of collaborators, both locally & remotely.
My pursuits in the arts and the nonprofit sector constantly required me to learn new skills, one of which has been web development. I successfully taught myself how to build websites from scratch with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as content management systems like Wordpress. To expand upon this knowledge, I decided to attend Flatiron School's live in-person Full-Stack Software Engineering boot camp over the winter of 2022-2023. During the program, my classmates & instructors came to know me as someone who is both friendly & knowledgeable. I facilitated frequent group learning sessions and provided individual guidance to classmates, which bolstered my ability to communicate software engineering concepts. After earning my certificate in February of 2023, I immediately picked up freelance web development work to reinforce & advance what I had learned.
Please see my projects for more examples of my freelance software development work. As I continue to nurture my passion for software development, I look forward to contributing my technical & interpersonal skills to this ever-evolving field!
