myspace legend turned professional web developer
how i got started
Remember spending hours perfecting your MySpace profile with custom HTML and CSS? That was me at 13, completely obsessed with making my page look exactly right. Little did I know I was already a developer in the making.
After years away from coding, I rediscovered that same excitement when I stumbled back into web development. What started as curiosity turned into a full-blown passion project. I dove into the SheCodes bootcamp and haven't looked back since. That teenage girl who wouldn't stop tweaking her profile layout? She's now building professional websites that actually matter.
my focus as a developer
I specialize in creating websites that work beautifully on every device - because there's nothing worse than a site that's broken on mobile or treats mobile users as an afterthought. With more people browsing on their phones than ever, responsive design isn't optional anymore, it's essential.
Beyond just making sites work across devices, I care deeply about accessibility. Everyone deserves to have a great experience on the web, regardless of how they access it. That means clean code, thoughtful design, and building with all users in mind.

beyond the code
When I'm not writing code, you'll often find me with a paintbrush in hand. My passion for art, especially painting, keeps my creative energy flowing and honestly makes me a better developer - both require that same attention to detail and eye for composition.
I'm also a mom to two amazing kids who keep me on my toes! I love our trips to the library, going to our favorite playgrounds to run all our energy out, and our long evening walks on our favorite river trail.
In my downtime, I'm usually absorbed in a good book, binge-watching my favorite TV shows/movies, discovering new music that becomes the soundtrack to my coding sessions, or playing my favorite video games.
