HELLO,
I’m Jen, a graduate of the HackerYou Front-End Web Development Immersive program
and Design classes. I pride myself on writing semantic code, with an attention to every
detail. Each project is a new adventure, and I'm in pursuit of an opportunity to blend my
passions of design and code.
Experienced in managing and inspiring teams, my background allows me the ability to
solve problems and promote ideas.
