After recently completing a software development Bootcamp with Burlington Code Academy I am excited to begin a career utilizing my freshly developed skills. Discovering opportunities to create and problem solve in software development has shown me that the potential in this field for personal and professional growth is limitless. Since finishing at the University of Vermont in 2016, I have worked in management positions for national and local companies, supervising between 6-15 people. By doing this I developed expertise in leading teams in project-oriented tasks and identifying how to best utilize the resources available. Taking time between jobs, I made it a point to travel and volunteer across the world, hiking to Everest Base camp with time spent teaching in a Nepalese boarding school for the underprivileged, aiding an elderly couple maintain their farm in New Zealand, and contributing to the building of 'Earth Ships', self-sustainable housing, in Argentina. These diverse experiences have taught me to be adaptable, learn new skills, and apply these perspectives to my work.I encourage you to check out my portfolio and see examples of what I have been working on since beginning my journey into software development through the following link. https://personal-portfolio-65770.web.app/
