About Me

I have been working with technology in one form or another as long as I can remember. I have a degree in Computer Science and worked as a software engineer at National Instruments. Even as a teacher, I have taught computer classes, coached robotics, and incorporated appropriate technology to enhance learning.

I love using technology and want to challenge myself as a web developer. Currently, I am attending the University of Minnesota as part of a web development bootcamp. I look forward to using the skills to build some really great sites.
