Who I Am
As a dedicated web developer with a diverse background in education, counseling, and technology, I pride myself on being a congenial technology consultant and website developer. I reside in sunny Dunedin, Florida, however, throughout the year (2-3 months) I trade the beach for the mountains of Weaverville, North Carolina, where my sister keeps a studio space for me in her Blue Ridge Mountain home. My love of nature and the outdoors keeps me well-anchored in both homes.
My journey with web development was woven between my career in education and a desire to share stories about my travels and relocations with the people most important to me. This passion for connecting people and information blossomed into a 20-year career building websites for clients.
More Than Just Code: Understanding Your Needs
My background is as unique as the websites I create. Before diving into technology, I spent 10 years working in public schools, fostering a love for clear communication and a knack for explaining complex topics simply. This translates to websites that are not just beautiful, but also user-friendly and achieve your specific goals.
Adapting to the Ever-Changing Web
Technology is ever-evolving, and I embrace the challenge. Throughout my career, I've worn many hats: from building websites with code to utilizing user-friendly platforms like WordPress. My knack for learning and this unique adaptability ensure I can leverage the latest tools to create the perfect website for your organization.

What I Believe In
It is my personal philosophy that Knowledge is Power and I truly believe that in this day and age, the sharing of information, resources, and skills will help others to help themselves. I know it won’t put me out of a job – there is always another question lurking with every client - yet sharing what I know means the little stuff gets handled with confidence and ease. It is my mission to support learners with patience and careful attention to needs and questions. I value honesty, transparency, and fairness in business.
I also encourage potential clients to ask for what they seek with regard to my services, as I love to support community, learning, and ensure everyone feels they have gotten what was needed.
I specialize in both personal and small businesses needs.
