About Me

(01)/ About Jennifer

Hey! I'm Jenn. I am a front-end developer and recent graduate from Juno College of Technology's Web Development Immersive Bootcamp. I started my coding journey in 2018 with a commitment to spending the year learning new things, that led me to take some one-day workshops with Canada Learning Code and then Juno's part-time Web Dev and JavaScript courses. This long and winding road has ultimately led me here! Coding has been such a challenge, but it's been so rewarding to see how much a little snippet of code can change a page.

I have a background in arts and culture, with my previous roles being in arts marketing. I have an eye for design and a love of creativity, so web development is a perfect transition. My background allows me to express my creativity while building accessible, responsive websites. When I'm not coding, I enjoy spending time with my mini dachshund Rosie and exploring my new city of Niagara Falls.
