Ever since I was a child, I have always been a "helper". I began my career as a case manager for a community mental health agency and then switched to a service and support administrator for people with developmental disabilities. I was able to use my natural desire to help along with my ability to think outside the box to assist others with realizing their potential. While I was helping people achieve their goals and dreams I spearheaded the electronic planning and review process for the company and fell in love with technology. To feed my curiosity I began teaching myself to code online and realized I wanted more. I enrolled in Tech Elevator and began engrossing myself in the pre-work, going to meetups, and becoming familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My love for helping people is still there but with a twist. My goal is to make accessible technology for everyone and eventually apps and websites to assist people with disabilities with their everyday lives.
