My Story!

Growing up, I have always been tech savvy. In high school, I took an engineering class my freshman year that used AutoCAD, which is a computer-aided design software to create drafts of 2D/3D models. I took a graphic design class for two years that taught me how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. that allowed me to create many different logos or cartoon designs. As a hobby throughout my high school life, I also developed and produced rap music and had to use software, such as FL Studio, and hardware, such as a microphone and keyboard, which allowed me to express my creative musicial side. To help market my music, I had to learn about algorithms that Instagram and Twitter used to promote my music. I also wanted to create some visuals for my music, so I taught myself Premiere Pro and dove a little into After Effects.

When I graduated and started my college journey, I was not too sure what I wanted to study. I dabbled in a few classes until I took Kinesiology, which sparked my interests in the human body. I soon became a Health Science major with a focus on Physical Therapy. My junior year I felt I lacked some stimulus from my tech side or creative aspect of myself. I talked to a few computer science majors that were on my tennis team about coding and how to get started. It was always an area that I was curious about, but I did not know how to get started. I soon started watching videos and following along and then one day I created my own website application. I loved being able to express my creative side and analytical side to find solutions on how I would create what is in my head onto the computer. I had this same feeling with music, but lacked the analytical/ problem solving aspect of it.

I have had quite a journey on how I got into computer programming, but I hope you enjoyed it! I am hungry to keep learning and I am glad to have found a passion in coding. Scroll down below to find out more about my skills and to see some of the projects that I have made along the way!
