My previous career was in higher education and non-profit work in the Visual Arts. After learning to make silly 10-second JavaScript animations in 2016 as part of my studio practice, I took a leap and completed Launchcode's LC101 programming course, which led to a big career pivot.

I've since joined the Laravel community and am an avid learner of inclusivity, equity, and accessibility issues on the web.

I'm still a practicing artist in my free time, and I'm also into spoon carving, weight lifting, and playing the Witcher 3 in the most useless roundabout way possible.
