Front-End Developer Specializing in Accessibility and WordPress

I started my tech career in 2008 when I managed my organization's static HTML website.

I have since played the roles of digital marketing manager, project manager, layout designer, and front-end developer.

I spent over a decade in the nonprofit world, made a brief stop in pharma marketing, and am now in state government building accessible WordPress websites.

I made a brief stop here in a contract front-end developer role working with pharmaceutical clients who specialized in treating rare diseases.

It was my first time being on a team of developers, and it helped strenghten my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript chops as well as exposed me to BrowserStack and Email on Acid.

I worked on static HTML websites for drug launches, email templates, and Google banner ads.
