About

I am a Colorado native who recently made the career change to become a Front-End Web Developer. I graduated with a degree in political science and a minor in marketing and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and spent some time working in educational and activist non-profits in Colorado, Washington, DC, and Atlanta, GA. I decided to make a career shift to expand my options and skill set by learning web development.

My skills with HTML, CSS, JQuery, and JavaScript are intermediate, but I am learning more everyday and am eager to expand my knowledge base. I am currently the Webmaster for my best friend's hockey news and lifestyle site, Buckets and Blades Hockey, where I manage and modify the WordPress framework and design interactive games.

When I am not coding or teaching I am playing hockey, hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains, or binging on Netflix.
