About Me

As mentioned above, I recently graduated from a full stack development bootcamp at the University of Washingotn. In July 2021, I graduated from Fordham University with a B.A. in Digital Design and New Media. Alongside my college courses, I was a freelance UX Designer & Researcher and received a certificate from General Assembly's User Experience Immersive bootcamp. The computer science courses I took in college is what introduced me to the field.

Throughout college, I established myself as a creative-brained individual and problem-solver, which led me to pursue a major in digital design. When I began experimenting with programming by attending hack-a-thons and a global game jam, I realized that it requires more of an innovative mind than anything I have ever experienced. I fell in love with the challenges it created for me, the gratification I felt when solving a problem, and training my brain to think more like a computer. I am a passionate learner dedicated to excelling my skills and digging deeper into the field of computer science.

As a worker, I am team-oriented, a strong communicator, an assertive leader and inspired by my enviornment. I work best when I adapt to a team's dynamic by gaining a sense of how my other colleagues operate, and when I am in a respectful space that welcomes brainstorming and collaboration. I also enjoy putting my brain to the test and teaching myself new tasks, and being able to see a higher up as a mentor. In my free time, I love to read and take walks around Manhattan with my dog, Panda. When I can, I like to ski, scuba dive, hike and travel. I also nerd out over Nintendo! Fun fact — you'll never beat me in a game of Mario Kart.

Testimonal

''Charlotte and I have worked on two projects together, both of which I was project manager of. She is one of the most driven, hardworking, skilled, and kind-hearted people I know. She is that person who you give a task and know that regardless of how difficult or demanding it may be, she will give it her all! She is the first to volunteer when you have a task that needs taking care of, and is always voicing suggestions and opinions on hiccups that were encountered during project lifecycle. I will miss having my days brightened and my work motivations gassed by having her in my team, and look forward to the opportunity to have it once again.'' —via LinkedIn Recommendations
