biography

I was born in Erie, Pennsylvania but have lived in Florida for as long as I can remember.

Growing up, I was always into art - mostly drawing and painting. At one point I wanted to get into fashion design. I stumbled into web design by a friend’s suggestion - it sounded like the most stable artistic job out there. I picked up a book on HTML and have been hooked ever since.

Since then, I have developed a passion for coding,

while still never letting go of my visual, artistic side. These two sides of me have led me to be a mix of designer and programmer.

I recently graduated from UCF with my Bachelor’s in Computer Science.

I work at Google in Mountain View, CA, where I create and implement features for the Online Help section of their website. This job is a dream come true; every day that I step into my office I'm reminded that I'm working for the most amazing and innovative company ever. The work I do is seen by millions, which is both a great inspiration and a great reward.

My future goals include

becoming involved in web-based applications like web browsers and instant messaging applications. I also have an affinity for web crawlers, so I would really love to be involved in that. In addition, I think it would be exciting to work on a website building application, like Dreamweaver or Google Page Creator.
