Hi! I'm a front end engineer with six years of experience. I've worked on web development, web design and with almost any CMS you can think of.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2016 with a degree in Human Communication, with the intention of starting a career in marketing. Very quickly I learned I enjoyed working on web design and development and got first position as a front end developer at a marketing agency in 2017.

If I really think about it, I'd say my career really started when I was 11 years old and would spend my afternoons designing and building MySpace templates for my friends. You can say the rest is history.

In my free time, I love watching movies and logging them on Letterboxd (follow me!), running, and traveling.
