A recent graduate of Seattle University with a Bachelors in Economics, I am looking to transition from studying international development to training in software development. Throughout school, I cultivated a love of learning, studying everything from Math to Philosophy to Yoruba to Economics before I finally was forced to graduate. While at SU, I immensely enjoyed working with statistical programming languages to solve puzzling economics and logic problems in my classes. My love of exploratory learning and solving puzzles lead me to join Ada Developers Academy upon graduation in order to pursue a career where the learning would never stop. Beyond my enthusiasm for creative problem-solving and hacking, I am passionate about all things data and information. I believe that equitable access to the power of data is one integral counteraction to rising inequality.
