I am a newly minted web developer driven by passion and purpose to succeed in a team environment with shared values and objectives. I work effectively when striving toward identified goals that take advantage of my strengths of perseverance, grit, and problem solving ability.After a successful stint working as a team member to satisfy customers’ needs at my prior job, I recognized the importance of developing a new set of skills in a world that was increasingly reliant on technology. I identified coding as the avenue to success in this new environment. I was able to rise to the challenge of learning new languages through General Assembly's Web Development Immersive course. The experience was invaluable in teaching me techniques and skills to push forward when hitting roadblocks and in finding solutions to thorny problems. My life experiences, especially my participation in various sporting endeavors, also taught me important lessons of teamwork, overcoming hurdles and challenges, and finding success through hard work and shared goals. These attributes will serve me well as a web developer at a company focused on achieving specific team goals.
