I’m a 2024 graduate of the Arkansas Coding Academy’s full-stack web development program, now working in the tech field as a data analyst and continuing to grow my skills. What started as a six-month bootcamp has become the foundation for a career I’m excited to keep building—solving problems, collaborating with teams, and creating solutions that make an impact. I’m eager to keep learning and exploring where this path will lead next.

Storytelling has always been at the heart of who I am. I’ve worked as a journalist since 2015 and have been a writer for as long as I can remember. From books and articles to essays and poetry, I’m committed to using words to inform, connect, and inspire. I’m proud to call Arkansas home and to continue sharing the stories that matter—wherever they’re needed, wanted, or can make a difference.

Design became a natural extension of my storytelling. What began as creating social media graphics to support my freelance journalism grew into a broader passion for visual communication — shaping how messages look and feel as much as how they’re written. Over the years I’ve developed brand aesthetics, designed event materials, built social media campaigns, and crafted digital visuals that help ideas resonate.
