Technology has always been a part of my life growing up; I have always been fascinated with how things work under the screen. Growing up overseas meant that we were 'behind the times,' which allowed me to explore and work with devices like old TVs, PlayStation 1 & 2, iPods, and many others at my own pace, free from the constant churn of the latest innovations each year. My focus was on enjoying what I had then and there.

Throughout school, my brain struggled with the core subjects, and finding joy in learning those; technology is something that I automatically gravitate to and understand. I love learning new tools and ways of doing things and building out different projects. Feeling a lack of direction, I originally went to college for education.

However, realizing that was not the route I wanted to pursue, I made a significant change. Two years after completing college, I started taking courses in coding and learning the different languages used in our tech world. Doing that for almost two years introduced me to web design. Web design is a form of technology I love because it combines creativity with innovation, as well as helping organizations with their current mission or assisting them in starting. I get to use my God-given abilities and understanding of technology in a way I love. I enjoy sitting in front of a computer for hours, creating different variations of the same web page.

I aim to help Wisconsin Lutheran Churches and Schools update or create websites that align with their mission and maintain that Gospel message of Christ's love. Technology in our world is drastically improving; many people do not know the love of their Savior; websites are a great way to show them what we believe and have them asking questions.
