About Me

I always knew I wanted to help people, so I have a background in nursing. Every day I worked with technology, and every day I thought to myself the technology could be better. After the pandemic I transitioned into tech, freelancing and building full-stack web applications. My ultimate goal is to work with a healthcare tech company, to make their tools easy to use and effective in improving healthcare outcomes. In that way, I can support my former colleagues to focus on the most important thing: the person in front of them.

In my free time I scour the web for the latest technologies and gadgets on reddit, exercise with my french bulldog boston terrier puppy, or watch the latest (or oldest) medical drama on tv. Historically I've played a lot of video games, and I'm always customizing them to play them exactly how I want them to be played.
