{ About }

After graduating from Northwestern in 2011, I went to work as a strategy and operations consultant, and spent the next two and half years providing guidance to a wide variety of companies, on everything from customer experience to regulatory compliance. The more time I spent analyzing these companies, the more I realized I wanted to apply what I'd learned to starting my own company someday. Never one to avoid getting my hands dirty, I knew I wanted the skills to build something myself, and soon found my way to General Assembly's Web Development Immersive course.

It's been twelve intense weeks of training in full-stack web development, and I've loved every semicolon, curly brace, and git commit. Going forward, I'm excited to combine what I've learned from my consulting days with my newfound coding chops to develop and manage outstanding products from end to end.
