I have a BS in Interior Architecture and worked in the commercial design world for a few years before leaving to teach at Kent State University. During that time I also worked at my families Durable Medical Equipment company starting out in Medicare Audits with a self-set goal of "working myself out of a job"... About a year later I had worked with every department to make our paperwork and documentation processes the most streamlined they could be. A few dozen custom forms later and a change-up in internal processes we were no longer duplicating work and our billing department was getting the documentation they needed. Our audits went from a full time position to a few hours a week and I needed a new job.
This idea of looking at a problems from new angles followed me to other positions within the company and knowing that I did not want to take over the family business I starting exploring other ways to bring my love of efficiency and organization to meet my creative side.
Web-development seemed like a perfect fit and the more I read and tried my hand at coding the more I loved it. I made the decision to quit my job and enroll in a coding bootcamp and can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I could have made. Everyday I am excited to learn something new, share a new found solution or find time to talk to the incredibly talented and intellegent people I call my classmates and teachers.
When I'm not at my computer you can probably find me enjoying time with my friends and family, playing volleyball or possibly exploring a National Park.
