Hello World!
I wrote my first line of code in BASIC on an Apple iiC, sitting in my parent's basement. Soon after that moment, I wrote my first GOTO statement, sending that computer into a fiery fit of sparks and smoke.
Ok, that last bit may or may not be true. My actual childhood was far less destructive and surrounded by computers — that Apple iiC, my beloved TI 99/4A, and eventually an IBM ThinkPad. I also spent my childhood among books, reading anything that struck my interest. (I had and still have eclectic tastes.) My dream was to move into our town library.
Today, I am a former “middle-end” developer turned website creator, who likes to craft accessible websites, tinker with AI, and make up my own titles. I speak at technical conferences, blog about the things I love, and write creative works focusing on life as a single mother by choice. I am a single parent to the best kid on the planet, and we love to travel (exclusively on this planet... for now). I am a student in the Doctor of Liberal Studies program at Georgetown, concentrating on the intersection of accessible communication and emerging technologies, because I love both of those fields (and hate sleep). In my spare time, I run, enjoy live music, and advocate for the Oxford comma.
