Currently I am embarking on my next endeavor as a Software Engineer. I
have been a high school math teacher for the past eight years while
also coaching volleyball on the side. I have loved all the
opportunities I have had to show students that math is FUN, hard work
pays off and to live by my motto
"Be a Marigold 🌼".
While continuing education, I decided to complete a Master's in
Applied Mathematics. I not only got to explore different branches of
mathematics, but found an interest in coding! I learned how to build
webpages using HTML and how to encrypt secret messages using modular
math in combination with ciphers. It was an incredible experience that
allowed me to see how technology could be part of my future career.
Over the last year I have been learning front-end languages through
SheCodes such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React to make responsive
applications. Now through Codeacademy, I am taking courses in back-end
languages to build my stack as a developer.
