Let me introduce myself...

I'm Emily, and I'm a front-end developer passionate about channeling my creativity into building innovative and accessible platforms.

As a photographer in my previous life, I bring a strong eye for detail, a passion for visual storytelling, and an insatiable curiosity that drives my growth and learning. This desire for learning ultimately led me down the path to becoming a graduate of Juno College’s Immersive Web Development Bootcamp. Countless hours in the classroom has given me a wide array of skills to add to my toolkit, and I look forward growing this skillset as I continue my web development journey.

When I’m not coding, I love to run, score a few goals on the soccer pitch, binge reality TV, and continue my quest for the best sushi in Toronto.
