What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in software implementation, client onboarding, customer success, technical support, or software training, especially in SaaS, health technology, fitness technology, or veterinary technology.

I run Paisley Dog Gear and Training, managing customer needs from inquiry through delivery while designing and maintaining its live React website. I turn requirements into individualized training plans and customized products, troubleshoot concerns, and improve services through client feedback.

After completing full-stack training at General Assembly and pursuing an M.S. in Software Development at Boston University, I built Pawgress, a dog-training management platform, using JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, Django, SQL, and MongoDB. My coaching background helps me explain unfamiliar concepts clearly, adapt instruction to individual needs, and support confident product adoption.
