I am a committed lifelong learner, always challenging myself to stretch my limits. This commitment has taken me to my fourth career, to live in numerous states and two countries. The exciting career of web development is the career for me because it is constantly changing and innovating. I enjoy the artistry of this constantly changing field and finding that sweet spot on the spectrum where beauty, intuitive design, and innovation meet.
I have lived a life of service, always looking to to find ways to make things better. In the work environment, I contribute to the top and bottom line. I am presently a 7th grade math teacher, while being a freelance full stack developer. Working with middle schoolers in one of the worst poverty stricken districts in Texas is challenging and rewarding. I always come with a professional attitude and focus on character formation and encouraging their desire to learn, while teaching algorithms and problem solving skills. At the same time I find ways to assist administration to innovate and solve campus wide issues.
I married 2 years ago, and we just had our first child. This incredible and challenging experience has taken me once again to change careers to provide a better life for my family. Looking at my little girl in the eyes gives me an extreme desire to succeed and provide a good future for her and our family. God has made me capable and able to learn at a fast pace. Give me a chance and I will deliver by using my insatiable drive for success, my ability to learn and adapt at a rapid pace, and my serving heart to bring new life to your passion.
