about me

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ป Iโ€™m a full-stack developer with a background in international relations and program management. My curiosity to understand how the technology we use everyday works led me to learn web development.

๐ŸŒIโ€™m most fulfilled when collaborating with others to make a positive impact on the world. Iโ€™m currently contributing to open source projects with Ruby for Good.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฟOriginally from Indiana (go Hoosiers!), my passion for language learning and exploration led me to live & study in Chile, Spain, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Washington DC. I now proudly call Philadelphia my home, where Iโ€™m working on keeping my Spanish and Turkish.

๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿฆœ Iโ€™m an avid cyclist and birder. My favorite cycling adventure was solo bike touring across northern Spain.

๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿ’ป My cat Juni is my most frequent pair-programming partner.
