Focused on Growth & Development
My Journey
I decided to trade in my clipboard for a keyboard after listening to an episode of the WWCode podcast. As a dietitan exploring ways to improve my productivity, I discovered that programming appealed to my analytical side. I took a leap of faith to return back to school to study Computer Information Systems at Des Moines Area Community College and I recently graduated May 2023. I'm excited to join the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for a 6 month co-op to improve my Java and backend development skills.
My Passion
- Helping People. Viewed through the lens of software developement, this means building software that makes peoples lives more enjoyable. It also means writing code that's easy to understand, maintain, and deploy with a high level of confidence.
- Learning and Growing. A Masters in Dietetics pursuing a degree in Computer Information Systems says it all. I'm excited to learn from my peers about how to build high-quality software.
- Teamwork. I built my first full application in C# using ASP.NET. I enjoyed brainstorming with my teammates and working together to solve issues.
