- based in the NYC metro area ๐๏ธ
- in the beginning of a new chapter! During the pandemic, I refreshed my HTML, CSS, learned JS, was accepted to Grace Hopper at Fullstack's bootcamp. ๐ค
- currently, I'm attending a lot of workshops and doing Mintbean Hackathons. Learning, learning, learning.๐จ Input, input, input! ๐
- expanding my skills. I'm learning about cloud storage and GraphQL and working my way through AlgoExpert.๐ซ
- playing with my ๐ถ, reading ๐, and hanging with my ๐ช when I am not coding. ๐ป
- always listening to music. ๐ต All kinds of music. For coding, I like something chill: like Crumb, Michael Kiwanuka, Leon Bridges, WFUV, etc. For driving, things I can enthusiastically sing to: like ELO('Mr Blue Sky' on a sunny day!), Queen, Beastie Boys, Lizzo, you get the picture. ๐
In my senior year of high school, I took a career aptitude test. My guidance counselor was very excited because I only had one result show up. Because these were the 'old' days, she had to look up the given code to find out what my perfect career path would be. She told me that she had never seen a student get only one career as an option from the test, usually it provided a few. I must have found my calling! We both bent over the book, excited to find the match. What??? Confusion. Looking at each other. Circus performer?? Checking to make sure we used the right code. Yup, circus performer. ๐
