About Me

I am a web developer with a 15-year background as a professional ballet dancer. The competitive world of ballet instilled in me patience, focus, and a keen attention to detail. My time in that field helped me grow not only as an artist but also as a collaborator, working closely with others in dynamic, fast-paced environments. This passion for solving problems and creating with a team is what led me to web development, where I enjoy collaborating on the finer details to build something meaningful together. Through Career Foundry’s Full-Stack Web Development Program, I’ve expanded my technical skills and found a new way to continue creating in a digital space.

At home in the Providence, RI area, I spend time with my husband, Kevin, where we enjoy playing board games, watching creative competition shows, exploring local food, theatre, and dance, and discussing the latest Brandon Sanderson novels—well, I discuss, and he listens!
