Professional Summary

I’m a developer and creative who loves building things that help people. Whether it’s a website for a ministry, a resource for a small business, or a digital space for a message that needs to be heard — I care about creating with intention. I’m not just here to make things look good or run fast (though that matters); I’m here to make sure what we build reflects the heart behind it.

My background in media, leadership, and ministry has taught me how to bring structure to vision, clarity to creative ideas, and excellence to every detail. I’m AWS certified, fluent in WordPress, and comfortable navigating both tech and team dynamics — but what drives me most is helping people step into what they’re called to do, and making sure the tools they use to get there are solid, strategic, and full of purpose.
