👋🏻 Hello...I'm Callie!

I live in Hartland, Michigan with my husband, Dan, our daughter, Savannah, and our dog, Felix!

We're pretty handy and are currently renovating our home room-by-room. This is the second home we've renovated together!

I'm currently a stay-at-home-mom. I started coding when I realized how many hours I was wasting a day scrolling social media as my daughter played. I decided to quit social media and spend my days learning instead. It's pretty amazing what you can accomplish when you put down your phone!

When I'm not coding, I spend my free time reading, gardening, and traveling with my family and friends.

Education

I consider myself a lifelong learner. I thrive in a challenging and fast-paced environment.

Bachelor of Education

I studied Spanish and mathematics at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2014.

I discovered my love of logic and learning new languages

My favorite class was Geometry where I learned how to prove the mathematical concepts I grew up using.

Master of Arts

I studied applied Spanish linguistics at Michigan State University from 2014 to 2016

I specialized in syntax because i love deconstructing languages to their smallest units and figuring out their unwritten rules.

Coding Courses

I've completed all four of the SheCodes Pro courses

I'm currently working through The Odin Project. I've finished the Foundations course and I'm on the Full Stack JavaScript path.

I am also currently in the Senior phase of the full-time remote immersive software engineering program at Hack Reactor (October 2022 - January 2023).

Work Experience

Every job has taught me so much about myself. As my career has progressed, I've learned where my interests and talents lie.

Teacher

For the first few years of my career, I taught high school math and undergraduate Spanish.

I loved curriculum development and utilizing new technologies to help my students learn.

Instructional Designer

For the next few years, I designed and developed eLearning solutions for a manufacturing company's training needs.

My favorite part of this job was learning how to make new interactions and features for the eLearning modules.

Small Business Owner

For the past five years, I've run an online furniture store.

I love designing new products and optimizing our website based on customer feedback and data.
