I was born in Oceanside, CA in June of 1995. My father was in the US Navy, so in the first 10 years of my life I lived in a total of 5 different states and 2 different countries. In 2005 my family moved to San Diego, and since then I've moved 9 more times around the county.

Most of my work experience has been from service and lab-based data entry jobs. I've always loved video games and computers, and in August of 2017 I decided to take steps to turn my hobby into my career. I completed the Coding Bootcamp at UCSD Extension in February of 2018, and after a web development internship, I landed a job as a QA Engineer.

In my spare time I tinker with web projects or tutorials, and when I'm not tappity tapping at code I'm playing Smite, I'm in the gym or on a trail, I'm spending time with friends and family, or I'm eating. A lot of the time it's that last one.
