About Me

I am a passionate cook who loves to code! I have experience in Ruby on Rails, React and JavaScript framework, and a background in Biological Sciences & Women's Studies. Possess strong skills in pair-programming, analytical research and time management. With my diverse background, I want to build software that will have a positive impact on society and bring diversity to tech companies.

My transition from studying pharmacy to software engineering, happened in 2019 summer. I fell in love with programming, and just the fact that I can be so creative and build something of my own from scratch gave me a rewarding feeling. So, I enrolled into this immersive software engineering program at Flatiron School. It was a life changing experience for me and from then on, I started learning in depth about programming languages and building applications.

Besides web development, I love travelling, photography, snowboarding and I am passionate about women empowerment. My current passion project is cultivating a platform on Instagram for women in tech, where they can share their stories. Combining my technical and social skills, I want to inspire more women to get into tech.
