About me
After a career in teaching, I realized that I needed a new challenge. When I heard a podcast on NPR about people who were changing careers to become coders, I became curious to know more. I tried Codecademy and was hooked! Since then, I have taken courses both online and with Girl Develop It and will be completing the Web Development Certificate program at Delaware County Community College (DCCC) in May. Upon completion of the certificate program, I plan to continue at DCCC to pursue an Associate in Applied Science in Computer Programming with an anticipated graduation date of May 2019. I live in the Greater Philadelphia Suburbs and aspire to become a professional web developer and offer my services to your company!
