About

Prior to enrolling at Nashville Software School, I was pursuing an English Philology degree with a Celtic specialization in Poznań, Poland. I chose this degree as it afforded me the opportunity to study foreign languages, which have always been an interest of mine. In having an appreciation for languages, my interest was peaked upon hearing that developers utilized coding languages to build applications. Upon further research, I became more and more excited at the prospect of having the opportunity to challenge myself to learn languages that were different than anything I had encountered thus far and enrolled in NSS's Web Development Jumpstart. Since then, I have been drawn in not only by the desire to better understand these languages but also the daily coding challenges and their accompanying rewarding feeling once overcome.
