Full Stack Developer

I am a freelance web developer whose goal is to create responsive, elegant designs that meet all of my client's needs. Through the use of intuitive and modular designs, websites are scalable and can be changed along with whatever you need.

Welcome to My Website

I wasn't always a developer. I served as a teacher at Archer High School in Gwinnett County Public Schools for over 7 years, teaching language arts to all levels of high school students. During my time at Archer, I taught AP Literature & Composition, AP Research, and AP Seminar, continually exceeding both national and state scores in those courses. Through constant collaboration with other AP Teachers, formative assessment cycles, and recursive feedback, students outperformed other schools in the county. While at Archer, I also served as the head coach for the JV and Varsity Soccer teams, leading my team to the Final Four of state playoffs in 2023 and earning Region Coach of the Year. In October 2022, I decided to change careers and started learning Full-Stack Web Development through Emory University's Continuing Education program, courtesy of Fullstack Academy. After all that I achieved in teaching, I am excited about what I can bring to the world of web development.
