I’ve always had a love for learning, there’s just something so exciting about understanding how something works! When I found Software Development through a High School course I fell in love with it. There were so many different avenues you could explore! You could spend so much time becoming an expert in one thing, then turn around and be completely new and inexperienced in another all within the same project.
I received a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology at Oakland University. This degree allowed me to maintain that well-rounded knowledge of everything that goes into a Software project, from the actual code to hosting it on a server. During my time at Oakland and previous employment opportunities I learned a lot more about user interactions, communication, creativity and adaptability. These experiences showed me how much there was to learn in software development and how much an impact you can make with just a few lines of code.
Now, joining Atomic Object as a Software consultant and developer — I am excited to create high-quality software that is sure to look at the big picture and goes above and beyond the clients expectations.
Outside of Atomic Object, you can find me hiking, reading, crocheting or playing board games that are overly complicated for no reason at all.
