The acquisition of knowledge stands as a paramount gift one can bestow upon oneself. The cultivation of an insatiable thirst for learning not only preserves the vitality of our minds but also nurtures the contentment within our hearts. Embracing this philosophy, I conscientiously integrate a commitment to continuous learning into my daily routines.
Throughout the predominant duration of my professional tenure, I have actively contributed to collaborative teams. The experience of working within a team framework has imparted invaluable lessons on responsibility, accountability, the significance of meeting deadlines, and the inherent benefits of learning from peers. I consistently embrace opportunities where I am not the most knowledgeable individual in the room, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives and continuous personal development.

My personal standards are elevated, and I consistently exert maximum effort in all endeavors. Fueled by an inherently positive attitude, I radiate infectious optimism, uplifting those in my professional sphere.
Boasting 13 years of comprehensive experience within the food industry, I have honed a diverse skill set during my tenure. Over the course of seven years, I have effectively managed various aspects of operations. Driven by an unwavering eagerness to learn and evolve, I am poised to transition into a new career with a wealth of transferable skills and a proven track record of leadership
A dedicated and inquisitive individual, I was homeschooled throughout the formative years of my education until my Sophomore year in High School. Early on, I imbibed the value of curiosity and the importance of asking questions to comprehend the intricate workings of the world around me.
Overcoming personal doubts, particularly related to my ADHD, I discovered my unique and efficient learning style. Fueled by newfound confidence, I embarked on a journey into the realm of web development.
In my inaugural year at MCC, I contributed significantly to my mother’s small business by crafting impactful landing pages for diverse clients. My responsibilities extended to the meticulous maintenance and updating of plugins, as well as invaluable assistance in a CMS migration project. During the same period, I seized an opportunity to collaborate with a local consulting company in Kansas City, where I played a pivotal role in the design of several client websites.
My professional journey as a General Manager exposed me to numerous apps and websites, revealing areas where functionality could be enhanced. It is my unwavering mission to create web pages and applications meticulously designed with the end-user in mind. Drawing upon my extensive experience, I aspire to develop real-world solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations, simplifying and enhancing the user experience.
I earned an Associate in Applied Sciences in Software Development from MCC in July 2023. Since completing my degree, I have been actively honing my JavaScript skills, expanding my knowledge in React, Node.js, and MongoDB, and undertaking independent projects to apply and reinforce my expertise. Concurrently, I have secured several freelance web development assignments, further enhancing my practical experience.
My current primary project involves the development of an inventory management system. Utilizing React, Node.js, MongoDB, and Express, this system is tailored for use by restaurants and small-scale retail establishments with limited inventory. It represents a fusion of my proficiency in both the food industry and software development, making it a particularly engaging and significant undertaking for me.
While I was initially well-versed in SQL, I have found non-relational databases to be easily comprehensible. This project also introduced me to the realm of APIs, and I utilized Postman for effective API analysis and debugging. For debugging purposes, I have seamlessly integrated Redux DevTools and Postman into my workflow. I am currently navigating through a challenge related to the proper functioning of the inventory count page, encountering an error that, although not fully resolved, I believe I am in close proximity to solving.
