About Me
I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2018 with two Bachelor's Degrees in Linguistics and Italian Studies. I missed learning. I missed using my skills and knowledge to empower others to increase their capacity to do. So a couple of years later, I completed Lambda School's full stack web development track, playing full-time mom during the day and part-time dev student at night.
After graduating, I spent 2+ years as a fullstack Developer Experience engineer at Apollo GraphQL, building out their docs site and custom learning platform.
When I'm not writing code or spending time with my family, you can find me playing the piano, running, cooking, and playing Nintendo games.
