Cover Letter
Hey, thanks for reading through my resume. I, along with my husband (@heath on github), have recently moved to Chattanooga and love it! This past year, I have been training to be a software developer and have read through and completed all of the exercises from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist. It's a great resource. I've also read through all of the MDN docs, completed several CodeAcademy courses (HTML, CSS, Make a Website), and recently completed the Chattanooga Tech Workforce Program which solidified my understanding of web technologies.
I am now looking for software development work and continue to hone my skills. I am currently building a Ruby on Rails project which will be linked in the projects section of this site soon, diving into systems programming, and am attending several local meetups. If you are interested in hiring me, I'm interested in speaking with you!
