FULL STACK WEB DEVELOPER
CREATIVITY // CODING // COLLABORATION

👩‍🎨 Once upon a time, I was a visual arts major at an art school. There, through the creation of enormous art installations, I discovered a passion for analytical problem-solving & physics.

👩‍🔬 So I pivoted into science, exploring & working in molecular biology for 8 years. It was through my career in biotech that I picked up coding. And so I learned about software engineering, an opportunity to work at the intersection of creativity & analytical thinking!

👩‍💻 Nowadays as a software engineer, I'm applying my experience in making art and executing the scientific method to a career where I can tinker and build freely.
