👩‍💻 Software Engineer who enjoys delivering clean, organized websites. I'm currently a PHP developer, working to implement design's vision for front-end, while finding solutions for back-end operations.

🖥️ Technical experience with PHP on Laravel Framework. Full stack knowledge in React, JavaScript, and Ruby.

📈 My past professional experience includes 6 years in Corporate & Investment Banking as a Trading Services Associate, beginning my career in Operations. Realizing I enjoyed tinkering with code to improve processes, I automated daily tasks utilizing my knowledge in Excel - Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP functions, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). 

📚 I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from the University of Delaware, with minors in Economics and Management Information Systems (MIS). My interest in building projects led me to the Flatiron School to expand my coding credentials as a Software Engineer.
