I started my career as a middle school science and math teacher. As you can imagine working with middle school students helped me grow. I learned about real leadership, communication, and about how different people are motivated. After about 2 years I transitioned into a Technology teacher role, and this is where I really thrived. I spent the next 8 years learning about whatever new subjects students wanted to know more about. I created and taught classes on engineering, game design, web development, automation/robotics, 3D modeling, and VR world creation. In having the opportunity to learn and teach myself each of these new topics and skills, I found that my real passion was for solving problems and figuring out how things worksI decided this real to make the leap, and try something new. I went through the Odin Program to learn the professional side of software development and got a contract position at Coalesce. I have been given the opportunity to work on refactoring the in-site git functionality. I focused on making the site more user friendly and clear. I was also asked to write jest, jsdom, and playwright test suites for each area of code.When my contract ends with Coalesce I am excited to see what my next opportunity is!
