| 4 | +## Introduction |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +I am embarking on the journey of becoming a software engineer with a unique set of experiences and circumstances that have somehow led me back to this path after almost 30 years to finish the thing that I started but did not complete. And I am excited! |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Work Hours & Best Way To Communicate With Me |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +I intend to get my work done between 9am and 5pm, although I expect to work outside of these hours to complete homework and conduct research. For the purposes of this cohort, I will make myself available during the week until 7:30pm if anyone needs to contact me. After 7:30, I hope to give my undivided attention to my family and hopefully have a few minutes to myself by the end of the day. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The best ways to communicate with me are: |
| 13 | +* Email: as a means to share detailed information with me. |
| 14 | +* Google Chat: great for quick updates. |
| 15 | +* Google Meets: an excellent option for scheduing meetings when a face to face is not possible. |
| 16 | +* Phone call: for a direct, real time response. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +I check my email often and will reach back out to you shortly after. I have no problem with quick in-person chats related to work and/or projects. |

| 20 | +## What I’d Love To Help You With |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +It would be my pleasure to help you with any of the concepts we are tackling as I grasp them myself. I am not sure which aspects of this work will come with ease for me, but I love to share as I learn and grow. As I know from experience, helping others with ideas or concepts that I have obtained strengthens my understanding of those very same ideas. |
| 23 | +So as I am able to help you in whatever capacity I can, in that interaction, you are also helping me. |

| 25 | +## One Of My Goals For The Coming Year |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +My biggest goal for 2025 is to reach the end of the Code Differently 25.2 cohort with all of the skills outlined in the course syllabus. Over the last 2 months, I have rearranged things in my life to make room for this endeavor, and I will be extremely proud of myself to see this goal to fruition. |

| 29 | +## A Topic I Am Always Happy to Talk About |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**Reading.** I love to read books. I am old school, so my preference is to have a physical book in hand as opposed to online reading from a screen or having my books read to me in audiobooks. I co-founded a book club during the pandemic and since its inception we have read over 30 books. In addition to book club books, I also have a running list of titles that I tackle independently. For a long time, I gravitated to biographies, autobiographies, and self-help books. My book club interactions have exposed me to different genres that I now enjoy. It is amazing just how much a good writer can convey between the front and back ends of a book. |
