About

Born on Christmas Eve of 1991, I grew up in a small town called Southwick, located in Western Massachusetts. I graduated Southwick-Tolland Regional High School in June 2010 and have just recently graduated in 2013 from the New England Institute of Art in Brookline, Massachusetts, with my Bachelor of Science degree in Web Design & Interactive Media. I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in IT from Harvard Extension School.


I first began web designing when I was merely eleven years old. The year 2003, when computers were beginning to appear in everyone's homes, was when I was starting to use my own desktop computer and internet often. I came across a fansite for an actress and instantly became fascinated at how the webpage was created. I figured, why not make one? So I did and from then one, I have been self-teaching myself coding and graphic design on Adobe Photoshop with the curiosity of trying out different things and a couple of tutorials.


I have learned a lot of coding which includes HTML, CSS, Javascript, Actionscript, Ruby, PHP, XML and MySQL, and graphic designing with plenty of Adobe softwares which include Photoshop, InDesign, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Other than developing websites and graphic designing, I am considered a 'techy' and when it comes to anything dealing with electronics or technology, I am the person to come to if you need help. I am always helping my friends and family and back in high school, my teachers even knew who to look for when they were having technical difficulties.


Every year has always been an improvement. Now I have finally earned my first college degree in this field. I already knew most of what was being taught in classes but since I was self-taught, I wanted to make sure that I did not miss any little thing that I had not learned on my own. However, attending NEiA acknowledged my skills and I had also undoubtedly learned a great amount from the professors there. I have really enjoyed my time in the school and was able to do what I love doing. In my free time, I enjoy bike riding, being outdoors, listening to music, going out, playing video games, traveling, playing sports, spending time with family and going to the movies. I produce electronic music as a hobby. My favorite color is blue, favorite movie is The Dark Knight, and favorite food is pizza.


I do not have a specific company in mind yet but when it is the right time to get my career started, I dream of working with a major, well-known company, being a web developer or designer. I grew up doing what I do now and I hope to continue this for the rest of my life.
