Profile
My love of technology since childhood transformed me into a Full-Stack Developer with a UX/UI background. I have turned my love of language into a role at the First Peoples Cultural Council (FirstVoices), where I build software that supports the revitalization of Indigenous languages. Experience in development and customer service taught me to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and prioritize user experience, so I craft intuitive, easy-to-use tools while continuing to learn and create one line at a time.
