My interests

I am completing the Full-Stack Software Engineer course through Codecademy and have progressed through front-end and JavaScript lessons and projects. I am also interested in combining web development with eLearning authoring tools such as Adobe Captivate to create web design experiences that are more interactive and engaging. I have a passion for the outdoors and wildlife photography and a background in learning and training. My interests are in combining these skills to develop web-based eLearning content on topics related to nature and the environment that are of public interest.
