About Me

I am a full stack web developer who focuses on designs that are user-friendly, responsive, and meet all the needs of my clients.

I build websites using whatever technology is required. I am most fluent in Javascript, using ReactJS, HTML, and CSS (vanilla, Bootstrap, or Tailwind) to create web pages that are responsive and easy to navigate.

Before moving into Web Development, I was an educator, working in Gwinnett County for 8 years, teaching all levels of Language Arts. While teaching I also coached soccer and earned Archer High School their first playoff win for the soccer team on our road the final four.
