About Me
I have been in education my whole life, most recently as a teacher and professor; but life changes, and I am excited about leaping into a new career as a software developer. Through We Can Code It, I am learning the skills necessary to create and maintain dynamic, modern websites, helping keep and improve upon a company's web presence on both the front- and back-end, as well as gaining an entry into the wider field of computer science. My greatest hope is to use my skills to leave the world less unjust than I found it.
