About Me
Born in the bayous of Brooklyn, NY 🚕, I’ve devoted myself to being a life-long learner. A former STEM teacher, I’m a firm believer in the power of education 🧠.
Working across the stack sparks joy ✨, though I’ve been known to be well versed in the dark arts of front-end engineering 💅.
When I’m not at my keyboard, I enjoy cooking 🍳, running 🏃, and listening to podcasts 🎧.
