I'm a Junior Developer based in Perth, Western Australia.

For 5 years, I worked in account management and business development in the digital marketing industry. I had the privilege of working alongside incredible brands, implementing their influencer marketing campaigns and affiliate tracking technology.

Whilst working closely with internal and client dev teams, I uncovered a keen interest in web development - the team dynamic, challenging new concepts and logical problem solving that the work offers.

In January 2024, I decided to seriously pursue this passion, enrolling in a full-time Software Engineering Bootcamp with General Assembly. Throughout the three month course I built a solid foundation in front and back-end web development, which I have continued to advance through freelance work and personal projects.

I am currently a Web Development Intern at Hatchet in Perth, where I am building a full-stack software solution for a dog rehoming centre using Next.js, TypeScript and Laravel.

I'm currently looking for Junior Developer roles in Perth or remote. Please get in touch if you would like to collaborate or simply have a chat.

Before stepping into web development, I was a Business Development Manager. I worked with retail clients on bespoke affiliate and influencer marketing strategies and specialised in the fashion and beauty space. During my time in this role, I learnt a great deal about relationship management, cross-functional collaboration and commercial negotations.

Outside of work, I love CrossFit, hiking, reading and spending time in nature. Having recently emigrated to Australia from the UK, I've been enjoying exploring my new home and have a long list of adventures on my bucket list!
