ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Kathryn.

I am a front end web development and user experience design student at Weber State University. Before I decided to learn how to program I studied cell and molecular biology and chemistry. I worked in a number of research labs and as a chemist. In 2017, I decided I wanted to learn how to program. After I made my first project, I was hooked. I went back to school and got my associates degree in computer science.

I love making art and programming. When I am not behind my computer working, you can usually find me in the mountains or dancing. I love hiking, camping, doing yoga, rock climbing, and doing aerial arts.
