About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by!

I’ve always been interested in tech; my very first experience with a computer that I can remember was with an IBM as a preschooler! Even before middle school I was really into art, I started learning how to build my own “art gallery” using HTML and eventually CSS, so that I could show case my art like the professionals did. As I nurtured my talent during high school, my focus shifted to primarily making art and wondering which art school I’d attend. I got accepted into Ringling College of Art and Design, but ultimately did not attend because of tuition. Then more real life came, and my immediate concern was applying “practicality” to my new adult world I was stepping into.

After starting college I still drew (I took a couple of art classes), but it became less and less, then eventually I stayed at my retail job after completing my A.A. degree. It was amazing the kind of customers that grew on you and you on them; they started asking me about my future. It took me a while to convince myself the route I needed to take to look at a new career was to go back to school after about 8 years being in retail. I knew for sure, I needed a change! So I did some research, and eventually found my way back to html, css, and (newly) javascript.

As I started “relearning” the basics, I became curious about security in tech. I wanted to know what features I would need to minimize art theft, especially if I wanted to put my work out there. Seeking out this industry became a more “practical” and more “realistic” career for me to earn a living, so once again my interests shifted a little bit away from art again. And here we are! I will be chronicling my journey from a retail background into a new field. Hopefully you’ll learn some cool things on the way as I move forward into a new chapter in my life!

I’m currently finishing up my B.A.S. in Technology Development and Management with a subplan in Cybersecurity Management at my local college (2020 yay!)

I still like to draw in my spare time…aaand also game! I’m mostly into RPGs (all types!) and some action/adventure titles.

Thank you for reading and see on the next post!
