Career Goals
I am continuously working to become the best front-end web designer and developer that I can be. I am seeking out career opportunities that allow me to put my design skills to use while providing me with ample opportunities to expand upon my working knowledge of PHP, MySQL and JavaScript libraries.
What are my interests?
When I’m not digging into HTML, CSS and PHP, I’m likely singing in the local community choir or banging around on my keyboard. I love to read, and I love to write even more. Other interests of mine include cats, birds, long walks, warm sunny weather, astronomy and swimming.
