Being Creative is My Jam
Software Development
The best part about developing software is that it combines my love of creativity and problem solving. I enjoy learning new tech stacks and experimenting with new projects.
Music
While perhaps not proficient, I sing, play the piano, guitar, violin, ukulele, accordion, recorder and harmonica... not all at the same time.
Writing
I obtained my MFA in Creative Writing and have enjoyed some form of writing my entire life. Let it be in journaling, fiction, or humorous essays.
Art
Whether it's painting, drawing, photography, digital art, collage or anything in between, I thrive on making art.
