Summary
I recently graduated from Hackbright Academy where I learned Full Stack Web Development. Within the program I created I created, My Haven, a web app for domestic violence victims who are receiving services from a domestic violence agency. My favorite part of creating the web app was creating my PostgreSQL database schema using SQLAlchemy for database interaction because of this interest I am looking for Backend roles but am open to Full Stack.
Before I learned how to program, I worked as a domestic violence advocate assisting at-risk domestic violence survivors. I majored in Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Cornell University.
