A bit about me:

I was born in Shawnee, KS and have spent my life in and around the Kansas City area. I truly do love the area and how it can offer just about anything to just about anybody, whether it be a trip to any number of dog parks, a taste of a local wheat beer infused with the interesting local nightlife or, naturally, a seemingly endless availability of barbeque.

Something else the area can offer is opportunity. As a growing tech hub, it can fuel my curiosity about coding and app development. I have always had a deep fascination with how things work and given that we use apps every day, I decided to enroll in the Centriq Full-Stack Development program, who in turn gave me a solid foundation to build upon in the IT world.

I've had a varied work history to date. From retail to electronic repair shops to restaurants (front and back of house) to an office setting, one could say it took me a while to settle into the decision to get into app development. However, I think it gives me versatility. The roles I've played as both manager and subordinate, member of a team and someone given autonomy and liason for client relations gives me the experience I think is necessary to thrive in a given workplace environment.

I believe that taking on challenges only make us stronger. As such, I'm always looking forward to the next one.
