About Me
Hi, I'm Emory, and I am a Web Developer and Designer.
I hold a degree in International Relations from Indiana University Bloomington, and I have a passion for language and cultural exchange. So, you may ask yourself...what led her from a career in political science and liberal arts to one of the fastest-growing STEM fields out there?
Following my graduation from university, I worked in the culinary world for a few years. Enter: COVID-19. The industry began to change rapidly and I - like many others - began to realize that this could be the perfect opportunity for a change of pace. Eleven Fifty Academy came onto my radar through mutual connections to the program, and I decided jump in headfirst into their Web Development Bootcamp.
After completing Eleven Fifty's program in January of 2021, I had the opportunity to return to the school as a Learning Assistant. In this position, I mentored and tutored students, both one-on-one and in class, helping them to have a productive and exceptional experience during their time at Eleven Fifty. I was able to cement a deeper understanding of the concepts that I had learned throughout my time in the course, while also touching on all of the different technologies that my students implemented in their projects.
Following my time spent teaching, I feel confident enough to say that I am not only ready, but excited to take the next step towards becoming a full-fledged developer! I am eager to expand my knowledge of web development and design, learn new technologies, and work on new projects -- I can't wait to see what the future holds.
