About Me

Full-stack web developer and designer pivoting from Quality Assurance in the food industry. My love of the web development and design world started with a UX course and ran from there. I love getting wrapped up in everything from working through a bug to moving a pixel by one space.

My goal is to pursue a career in Canada where I am able to bridge the gap between design and development. I hope to start this journey by working as a front-end developer. Later in my career, I would like to specialize in creating accessible designs.
