About Me
I am a multifaceted professional bridging the gap between mental health and technology, with a passion for innovation and problem-solving. In April 2024, I earned a full-stack software engineering certificate, completing an intensive program while balancing my roles as a full-time therapist, team lead, and business owner.
Currently, I serve as a Development Team Co-Lead for Tech Fleet and work as a freelance full-stack software engineer, leveraging my diverse skill set to transition from clinical mental health to the tech industry. This career pivot reflects my enthusiasm for technology and digital transformation, as well as my commitment to creating meaningful solutions that positively impact lives.
With expertise in modern software development and a background in leadership and client-focused roles, I bring a unique perspective to collaborative, mission-driven projects. Let’s connect to explore opportunities to innovate and grow together!
