I worked in the accounting field for seventeen years specializing in accounts receivable, cash management, account reconciliations, payroll, billing, collections, system creation and enhancements. While striving to improve my skills on the job, I began automating all my areas of responsibility, which led to other areas of the company adopting process automation for their functions. This eventually led to me filling the role of Project Manager for our IT Department. In this role I realized my true passion was automating processes. I found myself taking a giant leap, leaving behind a place I thought I would eventually retire from and taking a job as a junior developer. I took this huge leap despite having very little exposure or experience in coding.

In September 2017 I was hired at American Title. It was truly a great environment to begin my journey in coding. While I was able to complete smaller stories, I felt I was not learning some of the basics and fundamentals essential to software development. It was at that time I decided to leave American Title and signed up at Tech Academy. I dove head first into their software development bootcamp. The course was 40+ study hours per week for 16 weeks covering C#, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. In order to complete the bootcamp, I chose to resign from my junior developer position and focus on my education.

Now that I have completed my training, I am pursuing the opportunity to work for a quality organization and apply the skills I have worked very hard to gain and refine. I have always and will continue to work diligently to strengthen my skills and improve my capabilities in every way possible. It is my goal to partner with a company that will benefit from my abilities while in turn providing a path to continue my growth in software development.
