Get to know me
During the day, I'm a frontend engineer focused on accessibility, design systems, and documentation. Out of the office, I'm a freelance journalist for various outlets and an instructor at the ReDI School of Digital Integration. Even with all of that, I still try to keep a regular skincare routine and find time to binge Terrace House.
