About Me!

A few things that I love

  • Riding my horse

    Horses

    I've been riding horses since I was born, and I've taken that with me in to my adulthood. I now have one horse named Finn, that I have been training myself since he was 6 months old. It has been the most rewarding and infuriating process I've gone through. Feel free to follow our journey at our instagram _myfriendfinn_

  • On top of a mountain with fiance and dog

    Outdoors

    I love being outside. If I'm not with my horse you can catch me hiking mountains with my fiancé and vizsla, or skiing (aka falling down a mountain) with my friends and family. Anything to be outside and in nature. Pictured here is Mt. Huron. Allegedly the easiest 14er in CO. Reviews will have you know there is no Starbucks at the top however.

    Learning

    From skiing, to climbing. From learning to drive a manual car via youtube in France, to writing code, I love learning new things. Learning to code at a bootcamp in 7 months in a leaky basement of a bank has only reenforced the idea that I can do anything I set my mind to. I try to use a Growth mindset to take on new challenges at work and in my personal life because there is so much joy in trying new things!

    Turing School of Software and Design is a Non-Profit Coding Bootcamp out Denver, CO. They offer both Frontend and Backend 7 month programs.

    As you progressed through 4 modules in the program, each module included 2 individual projects, 1 group project, and 1 paired project. If you want to see more you can find my work on GitHub.

    Nebraska Wesleyan University LogoBiology | 2010 - 2014

    Nebraska Wesleyan University is a small liberal arts school in Lincoln, NE.

    I started out Pre-Med at NWU and eventually (after 3 years) came to realize medicine wasnt for me. Possibly it was the mold going against nature and growing on my Formaldehyde cat, Fluffy, or my inabilty to master any sort of math with both numbers and letters.. I found a lot of joy in Conservation Biology and finished out my degree with a focus on Botany. Like any good millenial though I no longer use my degree for more than casual conversations and identifying toxic plants.
