Educator
Software Engineer 👩🏽💻
Hello! My name is Jackie, I am a software engineer out of the Dallas area. I have a background in education, and am excited to grow in the field of web development. I am part of the G{Code} house cohort, which connects women of color to opportinities in the technology sector. Join me on my journey to become a web developer!
I was born in a beautiful port city in Michoacan, Mexico called Lazaro Cardenaz. I moved to Phoenix, Arizona with my family when I was 5 years old. If you love tacos and hiking, I highly recomend a visit. I am DACAmented, which means my educational journey had many ups and downs, but I had the privilage of graduating college with the support of my family and friends.
I joined Teach For America after college, and moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to start my teaching career. I've been in the classroom teaching 5th graders for a few years. This has been a challenging and rewarding experiance, but I am ready for a new challenge where I can continue to grow. I am currently learning web develpment through G{Code} and #100Devs, and am excited, confused, and tired all at the same time, but it definately worth it! I've learned so much in just a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see where I'll be in a year!
Some of my hobbies include dancing, cooking, being a plant mom, and I recently discovered karaoke which now I love, try it if you haven't yet. I also love spending my time watching New Girl, its hard finding a new show when that one is amazing! I'm also a bit of a Mexican food connoisseur, so if you have any recomendations in the Dallas area, send them my way! So happy to meet you! Let's continue on this coding journey.
My projects are displayed in chronologial order. I enjoy seeing how much progress I have made from when I began.
