About

I'm a full stack web developer who has really come to enjoy that dopamine hit when my code looks, feels, and runs the way I want it to. My background is in occupational therapy with a focus in helping people achieve their daily functional goals through adaptations to the task, environment, or clients themselves. For me, the nexus between OT and programming is the creation of things that are intuitive, adaptable, inclusive, and accessible.

When I'm not hunched over my keyboard with 27 tabs open, I enjoy reading, kayaking the marshes around Beaufort, SC, chasing my 3 year old son, sitting on the front porch, brewing mostly-edible homemade kombucha, and listening to my husband talk about D&D.
