Welcome! And thanks for visiting.

In 2016, with a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language and almost eight years in the teaching field, I decided to transition into a career in software development. Through the process of learning to code, I was delighted to discover the many analogies between learning human languages and learning programming languages, and have since spoken and written extensively on this topic.

​

Over the last few years, I've had a ton of fun improving my programming skills, as well as advocating for and supporting folks who are trying to make the transition into technology careers. I truly believe that with sufficient time, motivation, and support from the community, anybody can learn how to code and become a software developer.

​

When I'm not building software for Pluralsight Flow, I'm either curled up with a book, learning something new, hiking with my husband and dog in the Colorado Rockies, traveling to faraway places, working on my golf swing, or beating my husband at ping pong.

​

Feel free to get in touch, especially if you need someone to convince you that you, too, can successfully transition into a career in computer programming. If I could do it, you can do it.
