About Me
Before starting at Base Camp Coding Academy, I graduated from Hernando High School in Hernando, Mississippi. During high school, I was involved with multiple extracurricular activities including Student Council Treasurer, Interact Club member, Varsity Football Team, and the Information Technologies program.
Joining Base Camp was a life-changing decision. I've learned many lessons from going through Base Camp that I know will help me in my future career. I thoroughly enjoy working in group projects because it allows us to collaborate and bounce ideas off each other when working. My favorite part about Base Camp is the professional guidance from our wonderful instructor Fernae Ellard.
