I'm a former veterinary professional who recently made a career change to software development.
Working in high-volume specialty veterinary emergency and surgery practices, I learned the value of working cooperatively within a team and the necessity for creative problem solving when the cases didn't follow the rules. I discovered my love of tech when researching and implementing solutions to reduce face-to-face interactions in a healthcare field during the pandemic.
I'm a graduate of Ada Developers Academy where I learned full stack web development including Python, Flask, RESTful API, SQL, SQLAlchemy, HTML, CSS, Javascript and React. I added Django to my tech stack with my final Capstone projec 6272 t at Ada.
As part of the Ada program, I completed a 5-month internship at Rebellion Defense that converted to a full-time engineering role upon completion. For 16 months, I collaborated with talented engineers who generously shared their time and knowledge. This experience has been invaluable, and I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned in a new role.
