About
I am a computer science graduate from Brigham Young University-Hawaii and am passionate about developing web applications! Currently, I am working as an intern on the Memories Team at FamilySearch and have loved every minute of it!
Intellectually, I'm focusing on refining my skills in React and Next.js, but when I'm not coding, you can find me running, reading, playing the piano, or hanging out with my husband and cats.

Personal Portfolio (This Website)
After dedicating so much of my time to my studies, I wanted to create something of my own that wasn't for a university assignment and could think of nothing better than a portfolio to showcase everything I've learned in its code and contents. Although this portfolio does not utilize a framework, version 2 is in the works with Next.js!

Dungeon Dash
I created Dungeon Dash in Unity also for a university project. We had complete creative freedom as to the style, theme, and plot of our game, with the only requirements being that it had to have three levels, a starting screen, and an ending screen. I also incorporated a timed element, a high score, and 3D animation for fun. On presentation day, the class voted for the best game and I'm proud to say that Dungeon Dash won.
Dungeon Dash is not currently a GitHub repository so there is unfortunately no link for this project, working on changing that!- Unity

Reciple Catalog API
This was my first ever full-stack web application. It is a digital recipe catalog where users can login and create, update, and delete recipes as they please. It implements two types of user roles, regular and admin, each with different permissions, as well RESTful routing and asynchronous JavaScript for seamless client-server communication. I hope to go back and add some creative styling to this application in the future.

Outwit Mobile Replica
This game is a mobile replica of Outwit, a simple but engaging board game released in 1978. It is a university final project that represents months of progression in object-oriented programming and the Java programming language. I have since gone back and added more player preferences such as changing the theme of the game, the names of the players, and the layout of the chips.
