15+ < p >
16+ I have lived in Delaware my entire life and have always had a love for tech.
17+ In middle school I developed a passion for creating digital art and that love
18+ grew throughout high school. When it came time for me to go to college, I
19+ wanted to continue my artistic passions, but I knew I needed to persue a
20+ profession with more lucrative job prospects. That's when I discovered frontend
21+ development. To my surprise, this was an almost perfect blend of art and coding.
22+ Despite being interested in the subject matter, I failed to set myself up for
23+ immediate success post-grad. In order to be productive and pay bills, I took
24+ up a job at my local Walmart. After making a few connections with coworkers
25+ and customers alike, I had heard about opportunities at Code Differently.
26+ Now I am here, excited for the next 20 weeks, and really looking forward to
27+ improving my technical and power skills.

39+ < h2 class ="readme-heading "> Communication Preferences</ h2 >
40+ < p >
41+ The best way to reach me is to send me a message via Google Chat. It has a nice
42+ interface that allows for an easy transition between private messages, consolidated
43+ text threads and group chats. I also try to look at my email pretty frequently.
44+ If anyone were to struggle reaching me through those means. I always reply to
45+ direct messages on Instagram.

47+ < h2 class ="readme-heading "> Preferred Learning Style</ h2 >
48+ < p >
49+ I describe my learning style as a mix between visual and "trial by fire". Being
50+ able to recieve visual clarification on a specific task really helps cement that
51+ information in my brain. What I mean when I say "trial by fire" is that I like to
52+ dive into topics, make mistakes at 100 mph and learn from them. It's almost like I
53+ am brute forcing my learning but it's more like I enjoy owing the fact that I won't
54+ understand a topic at the first go-around, but I won't let that deter me from moving
55+ forward.

57+ < h2 class ="readme-heading "> Best Working Time of Day</ h2 >
58+ < p >
59+ I am very much a night owl. I like the idea of being able to partake in deep learning
60+ during peacful hours. I like to throw on some Bossa Nova jazz or some Native American
61+ flute music and dial into whatever I am doing. Despite this preference, I still do
62+ enjoy working during the day as it better allows for collaborations and Q `n' A's.
