I build websites to make a more beautiful, simplified place on the web.
I am a full stack web developer with a never-ending drive to learn. A journalist-turned-web developer, my mission is to combine my love for technology and my journalistic instincts to create a more beautiful, simplified place on the web.
I realized my love for technology when I was a little girl as I built my own websites on AOL and Geocities and taught myself HTML and CSS. My inspiration to transition from journalism into the world of tech came from taking coding classes at Emory University and volunteering for Black Girls Code. These experiences helped me understand that I wanted to direct my energy towards a career that was creative, challenging and literally made me leap out of bed every morning!
To develop the core skill set to becoming a developer, I am attending the full-time web development program at General Assembly and will be available for full-time employment in June 2016.

The Tic-Tac-Toe web app game was my first project for the web development program at General Assembly. Players can alternate placing Xs and Os on the game board until either player has three in a row or all nine squares are filled. Once a player wins, their score increases. The game allows players to play multiple games and reset the score.
