About Me

Hi! I'm Michelle, an aspiring front-end developer. I live in Mammoth Lakes CA, where I get to walk outside and instantly be in nature. Hiking, cross-country skiing, ice-skating and motorcycle riding are probably my favorite things to do in my free time. As much as I love to be in nature and take in what this world has to offer, I also love to create and add to it. I love writing songs, painting, blogging and crafting macrame. I even have my own small business named "Girl in the Meadows" where I sell my creations. Here I am now, attempting to add "coding" to my list of favorite things to do.

My Journey To Now

I've loved technology since I was a kid, and have always been interested in coding. It started when I was in highschool trying to create the perfect Myspace layout. The past few years I've wanted to make a change in careers and get into the tech industry but I only ever had experience in customer service. I applied to so many jobs that I didn't actually think I would love just because it was the experience I had. Until now.

This year I finally took the step to apply myself and I signed up for the SheCodes Basics workshop. Immediately, I knew that this was what I wanted to do, and I haven't looked back. I love that coding is creative and logical. There are always multiple solutions, not just one. My mind loves learning new things, so what better career to have than one in technology where things are constantly evolving and there's a never-ending well of knowledge to be learne.
