My very first tweet 🤩! Hi, my name is Jen. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 8 years as a counselor helping adults with severe mental illness. Over the past year I taught myself HTML, CSS, and vanilla Javascript using Udemy and FCC while working full-time…👇🏻

Our hackathon project won the Microsoft award at @TechTogether_ Miami 🎉! The app connects Latin Americans in Miami with legal/mental health resources and local events to help them with integration into the community. It was awesome to work with @KollerCode and the team 🎉🎉🎉

💡Decided to combine two tasks together. I’m at a dog bar where I can get my coding done + my puppy can tire herself out from running around. If anyone from the DC area wants to join, it will be three tasks combined 😌 #100DaysofCode #100devs
