I was offered an opportunity my senior year at Eastern Michigan University to join the marketing department as a member of the web team. In my year there, I created and maintained many multi-level websites for various departments and organizations throughout the university.

I found my dream job as a Front End Engineer at Enlighten Digital Agency, a full-service digital agency delivering solutions for major businesses worldwide. I spent nearly 10 years there not only honing my craft, but also learning firsthand how a healthy, successful company operates. To this day, my time at Enlighten remains one of the most impactful and rewarding periods of my career. After many years of success, the founder and ceo retired and Enlighten was acquired and now operates as Perficient Digital.

While I’ve continued freelance work for churches, non-profits, and small businesses over the years, it made me realize I missed the fast pace and variety of everyday agency life. That led me to my current role as Senior Front End Developer at Smooth Fusion Inc., where I work as the sole front end resource, handling anything and everything front end related for all of our numerous customers.
