I learned to ski at the age of 2, started racing at the age of 6 and became certified to teach at the age of 23. In the off season, I became certified in Wedding Planning in Vail, CO. For over 5 years, I worked with clients on and off the slopes to make their dreams of learning to ski or being married in the mountains come true. This invaluable experience helped to hone my communications skills with clients and provided me with insight into understanding the needs of individuals and how to satisfy those needs. Now I'm back in my hometown of Boston, MA, and looking to merge my communication skills with my desire to build software and web apps that improve peoples lives.

I became familiar with both front and back-end technologies during my time coding at Launch Academy. While learning the fundamentals of web development, there was a heavy focus on Ruby on Rails and React. I love problem solving and hope to challenge myself with many more languages and frameworks over the course of my career.

Built as a simple Ruby on Rails application that makes a single API call to Yelp. It takes in a user's address and passes those parameters to the Yelp API in order to determine the closest restaurant that sells Coke Zero. The results are then filtered to only return the five closest restaurants to the user's location. The restaurant names are displayed to the user, along with the address of each restaurant.
