I am proud to call myself a true creative. Back in 2019 I completed my communications degree at Ohio University. Their Media Arts and Studies program included learning about the media industry, marketing, ethics, and more specialized work in film and audio production. Upon graduating I moved to Austin, Texas where I worked as a songwriter. I was chasing a dream.

As is the case for many people, the pandemic added an extra unexpected dimension to our lives. I was fortunate enough to start working for a small creative firm, where I produced a variety of video content.

But soon coming back home to Cleveland called my name. With this move back to Ohio, came a new development (pun intended). I discovered web development and was instantly in love. I found a certificate program at Cleveland State University for Fullstack Web Development, which I completed in the fall of 2022. I learned to use technologies such as React, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PostgreSQL. This also included learning UI/UX design principles and software such as Figma.
