I began my undergraduate degree at Simon Fraser University learning how technology is used in a variety of different mediums - from web interfaces to experience through applications - and the relationship people have with it. After graduating in 2019, I spent several years producing multimedia for different organizations and freelancing, but discovered that my true passion lies in developing web interfaces through user experience and development. I recently graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology and I am continuing to learn more in the industry as I work hard to prove myself as an exceptional candidate within a team!

I worked professionally in media and design for 3 years after I graduated in 2019, then in 2022, I made the shift into development as I felt my true passion lies there. I completed a condensed program at BCIT for front-end web development and have been working freelance since April 2023 as I search for permanent full-time work.

Bachelor of Arts, Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser University A degree in Interactive Arts and Technology prepares students to play a leading role in the conception of new media and the design of inventive technologies. A SIAT education combines the science of human experience, the analysis of media and culture, the creation of original and experimental works of art, and the implementation of new technologies. Students bring these resources to bear on the most vital and innovative sectors of the economy, building the technologies and experiences that increasingly shape our lives.
