As a former communications professor and professional writer, I have always been fascinated by the ways in which language coheres into meaning. It took a few hours fiddling with JavaScript for me to realize that development is a natural extension of what I've always wanted to do: understand and communicate complexities.
I graduated from Nashville Software School's Day Cohort 15 (C#/ASP.Net server-side) in January 2017, at which time I was honored to be awarded Most Valuable Teammate, given to a student "for showing exemplary leadership abilities, helping teammates achieve success, and assisting anyone needing help." If I can channel that passion into business solutions that make a positive difference in my community, all the better.
Plus, coding is just really, really fun.
